“Hello, Patriots!” Elle and Bruiser are coming to a real-life stage in Birmingham in 2026, bringing ‘Legally Blonde The Musical’ to life. The musical is produced by ROYO and Curve, under Made at Curve production for the West End and Broadway. The brand-new production will arrive at The Alexandra from March 31 to April 4 and Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre from October 13 to 17.
Based on the smash-hit 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon, this ultimate 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. The multi-award-winning musical features original music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach.
The role of Elle Woods will be performed by the musical’s star, Amber Davies (Strictly Come Dancing), while TikTok’s Hannah Lowther will play Margot and alternate Elle Woods*. They star alongside George Crawford as Emmett, Karen Mavundukure as Paulette, Adam Cooper as Callahan, Jamie Chatterton as Warner, Annabelle Terry as Vivienne, Jocasta Almgill as Brooke, Rosanna Harris as Serena and Remi Ferdinand as Pilar.
With Ty-Reece Stewart as Kyle and Bradley Delarosbel as Carlos, the cast is completed by Keanna Bloomfield, James Lim, Aaron Shales, Jaime Tait, Daisy Twells, Louie Wood, Raiaz Fisher, Dylan Gordon-Jones, Lauren Hampto and Ollie Hart-Bradford. Hot off the heels of his sell-out tour of ‘Kinky Boots’, ‘Legally Blonde The Musical’ will be directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Leah Hill.
Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said: “LEGALLY BLONDE is firmly established in the musical theatre repertoire as a contemporary classic and it’s a pleasure to be reunited with ‘Little Miss Woods – comma – Elle’ in the 2020s. Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach’s electrifying musical about empowerment, equality and the folly of judging a book by its cover remains pitch-perfect and as relevant as ever.
We have assembled a “mad props” creative team and together we are looking forward to creating a fresh, fun and sunny SoCal production of this great musical. And following the incredible success of KINKY BOOTS, it’s a thrill to collaborate again with our friends at ROYO. We can’t wait to share the show with audiences across the UK and Europe after Elle takes over Curve early 2026. Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed.”
