Bow-wow-WOW! The new musical Legally Blonde opened last night at the Palace Theater, followed by a glittery party at Cipriani 42nd Street. Here's leading lady Laura Bell Bundy, who plays fashion-obsessed law student Elle Woods, with her canine co-star, Chico.

Lucky Laura gets two on-stage love interests: Richard H. Blake as the rich-but-obnxious Warner and Christan Borle as the poor-but lovable Emmett. Guess who wins?

The fabulous Orfeh and her hunky husband Andy Karl play beauty salon owner Paulette and UPS guy Kyle -- who end up living happily ever after. We can't wait to her Orfeh's big number "Ireland" on the show's CD, which will be released on July 17 by Ghostlight Records.
