This all-singing, all-dancing sensation will tour the UK and Ireland in 2026, with a stop at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday 10 – Saturday 14 March 2026.
Based on Amanda Brown’s novel and the beloved 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge, the award-winning Legally Blonde The Musical features a book by Heather Hach and original music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
This exciting new production will be directed by Curve’s Artistic Director, Nikolai Foster, whose recent credits include Kinky Boots, The Wizard of Oz, and A Chorus Line. The announcement follows the huge success of the recent sell-out UK tour of Kinky Boots, also directed by Foster and co-produced by Curve and ROYO.
Casting and creative team details will be revealed soon.
Chris Stafford (Curve Chief Executive) and Nikolai Foster (Artistic Director) commented:
“Legally Blonde has rightfully earned its place as a modern musical theatre classic, and we’re delighted to be bringing Elle Woods back to the stage in the 2020s. With its empowering themes of self-belief, identity, and not judging a book by its cover, the show continues to strike a powerful chord. We’ve assembled a brilliant creative team and can’t wait to reimagine this sunny, spirited story for today’s audiences. Following the fantastic response to Kinky Boots, we’re excited to team up with ROYO once again and take this fabulous show on the road after Elle dazzles audiences at Curve in early 2026.”
“Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed.”
Packed with energy, humour and heart, Legally Blonde The Musical is the ultimate feel-good rom-com, following Elle Woods’ inspiring journey from fashion-obsessed sorority queen to standout Harvard Law graduate. With catchy songs, empowering messages and pink aplenty, this musical proves that being yourself never goes out of style.
Legally Blonde The Musical is a ROYO and Curve production.
