Just check this website when it's closer to the date. This website only lists scheduled breaks though. There's no way for the website to predict whether or not a star will fall sick or injured the day before a show.

The only thing you can do is to ring the box office and find out whether she does every show or not. Depending on the roles, some musical actors do not do every performance especially if it is particularly demanding. There is also the possibility of illness which can affect anyone at any time. Musical actors in particular tend to have more days off sick if their voices are affected by colds or sore throats as they have to protect their instrument. Hope she is on stage the night you go.

There is only one cast for legally blonde. For some extra money, you may be able to meet her after the show and pet one of the bruisers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... My friend did that.

Generally, the leads in Broadway musicals understand that people are there to see them specifically and try not to miss shows, but it happens. The only thing you can do is call the box office the day of, and even then, it's not a sure thing. Pretty sure, but not 100%. Yes, there is only one cast - but there are understudies. I've known LBB's understudy to be on several times. It just happens. Hope you get to see her!
