Directed by Curve's Artistic Director Nikoali Foster, Legally Blonde The Musical will open in Leicester on 7 February 2026. A London run at the New Wimbledon Theatre is planned from 20-24 October 2026.
Based on the novel by Amanda Browning and the iconic 2001 film of the same name, Legally Blonde follows Elle Wood's transformation from 'It Girl' fashionista to a legal ace at Harvard Law School, all to win back her ex-boyfriend's heart. It's a story about defying stereotypes to discover her true potential.
The creative team also features choreography by Leah Hill (Kinky Boots, UK and Ireland Tour) with musical supervision by Matt Spencer-Smith (Here & Now, Birmingham Alexandra & UK and Ireland tour, Dear Evan Hansen, UK tour), set design by Colin Richmond (The Little Big Things, Soho Place, The Wizard of Oz, UK tour), lighting design by Ben Cracknell (Clueless, Trafalgar Theatre, The Wizard of Oz, London Palladium) and sound design by Adam Fisher (Here & Now, UK & Ireland tour, Evita, London Palladium).
Further casting and creatives for the tour are to be announced in due course.
