Legally Blonde The Musical to Tour UK and Ireland

Legally Blonde The Musical Tour

A brand new production of Legally Blonde The Musical has been announced a UK and Ireland tour next year. The musical will open from 7 February 2026 at Leicester's Curve Theatre and will tour until 7 January 2027.


The West End and Broadway smash-hit musical is based on the novel by Amanda Browning and the iconic 2001 film that starred Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge. Produced by ROYO and Curve and will be directed by Curve's Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (Kinky Boots, The Wizard of Oz). The musical features a book by Heather Hach and original music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin.


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.”


The cast and creative team are yet to be announced. The full list of tour dates are below.
