The University of Providence Performing Arts Department’s “Legally Blonde: The Musical” can best be summed up like this — It’s an energetic, colorful, well produced show with a TON of metaphorical glitter sprinkled all over everything. And pink. There’s lots and lots of pink. There were times watching it last night where …

‘Inheritance of the Dead’ expresses terror through what might happen as much as what does
