About Legally Blonde The Musical
Produced by ROYO and Curve, Legally Blonde The Musical is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Browning and the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge.
The feel-good rom-com follows Elle Woods on her transformation from ‘It Girl’ fashionista to legal ace at Harvard Law School, all in the name of love. Elle must prove she is more than blonde ambition, swap the changing rooms for the courtroom and learn that ‘being true to yourself never goes out of style.’
The production originally opened in London’s West End at The Savoy Theatre in 202o starring Sheridan Smith as Elle and has since enjoyed a number of national tours as well as playing at Regents Park Open Air Theatre.
