I've been waiting for Legally Blonde to make it's West End return since I saw it in 2010. With Regent's Park Open Air Theatre celebrating it's 90th anniversary this year, Legally Blonde is the perfect show to kick off the celebrations in May.
Omigod you guys, meet fashion merchandising major Elle Woods and her college sweetheart Warner Huntington III. Popular, stylish, they have the perfect relationship. That is until Warner heads to Harvard Law School and decides that he needs a more 'serious' kind of girlfriend.
Dumped, Elle embarks on a drastic plan to win him back. But, on the way, she discovers that there's more to love - and definitely Elle Woods - than meets the eye. Directed by Lucy Moss, co-writer and co-director of the smash-hit musical SIX, it's time to bend and snap, people!

Elle Woods - Courtney Bowman
Emmett - Michael Ahomka-Lindsay
Brooke - Lauren Drew
