Bailey Hanks, Broadway's new Elle Woods of Legally Blonde The Musical, greeted the public July 22 at her new musical home, The Palace Theatre.

The winner of MTV's reality casting competition "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods," Hanks was announced to star in the Broadway show July 21 and makes her Broadway debut July 23.

The new star stood at the steps of the Palace where her larger-than-lifesize likeness is now emblazoned on a poster.

The actress joins the current company featuring original stars Christian Borle, Orfeh, Richard H. Blake, Kate Shindle, Nicolette Hart and Michael Rupert.
