Before I start ticking off the many flaws of “Legally Blonde,” the current main-stage offering at Surflight Theatre, let me say the show, at least its second act, had me enthusiastically cheering.

As for the audience, it gave “Legally Blonde” a more boisterous response than the theater’s previous 2022 offerings, “An American in Paris” and “The Addams Family,” both of which were far superior productions.

Still, from a reviewer’s eyes the musical has more holes in it than the current Boston Red Sox lineup.
