Rhiannon Hansen, of Logan, made it all the way to the top three but didn't quite get the top spot on MTV's reality casting show "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods," where producers and casting directors were looking for the next star of the hit Broadway musical.

Bailey Hanks, 20, walked away with a six-month contract that will have her starring as the perky blonde at the Palace Theatre beginning Wednesday, having been in rehearsals since March.

Still, Hansen is well on her way to the Great White Way. She was offered a contract to play sorority sister Margot in the national tour. Second runner-up Autumn will join the "Legally Blonde" ensemble and understudy "Elle," and fourth-place Lauren will understudy "Elle" on tour.
