Curve Theatre in Leicester's Artistic Director, Nikolai Foster, will direct the brand-new production of Heather Hach, Laurence O'Keefe, and Nell Benjamin's musical. Foster also directs the upcoming West End transfer of Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum this Spring following its sold-out UK tour last year.

The musical is a huge hit with theatre lovers; it made its debut on Broadway in 2007 before a West End transfer happened in 2010 and starred Sheridan Smith (who currently stars in Woman in Mind).

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.
