Why see Legally Blonde?

She'll Show You How Valuable Elle Woods Can Be!

Justice never looked so good! The fabulous Legally Blonde music bends and snaps into a theatre near you as this fantastic production from Curve Leicester heads out on a brand new UK tour! Based on the iconic MGM movie, this '00s nostalgia fest for everyone features music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, and a book by Heather Hach and direction from Nikolai Foster. Follow Elle Woods' journey from sparkly pink popular girl to a kick-ass law student as she discovers she's so much more than the loser boyfriend who dumped her for not being 'serious' enough. Ugh!

Overflowing with dance numbers and catchy songs, this fabulously fun musical explodes on the stage with well-known scenes and characters, including Bruiser the Chihuahua and the Delta Nu Bond. This show is perfect for brightening anybody's day, and that's not just because it's packed with fresh design and an uplifting message, but because Elle Woods' infectiously bubbly personality is an endorphin for everyone!

What is the story?

Elle Woods has everything, and wants nothing more than to marry the love of her life, Warner - but there's one thing stopping him from bending the knee: "Because I'm too... blonde?" Deeming her not serious enough to carry his last name, Elle sets herself a task and follows him to Harvard Law in an attempt to win him back. But when she discovers Warner's got himself a 'serious' girlfriend, she decides its time to up her game - in her own unique way!
