If you grew up in the noughties then you would remember the American romance comedy film, Legally Blonde starring the fresh faced Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson hitting the cinemas in 2001. The film was such a success due to its comedy elements that it soon became a house hold name worldwide. The film was so sought after that it was later made into a musical and premiered in San Francisco in 2007. With its huge fan base, it was soon turned into a play and premiered at Broadway and the West End. As fans ourselves, we are happy to announce that this smash hit musical is now coming to The Regent Theatre tonight to wow audiences again.
For those who need reminding, the play is about a beautiful and popular sorority sister Elle Woods who loves to be pampered and is passionate about the colour pink. She’s the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there’s just one thing stopping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. She is soon dumped by Warner for a more serious girlfriend but instead of giving up, she puts down the credit cards and picks up the books. Packing up her trusty pooch, Bruiser, she bags herself a place at the prestigious Harvard Law School to try and win him back. With the support of her new friends she learns that you can be both smart and fashionable.

I’m a big fan of the movie so I think I’d love the theatre performance!
Yes you definitely would !
Be sure to practice the bend and snap before you go 😁
Hahaha yes of course!
This is a musical I would absolutely love to see myself. I used to adore Legally Blonde and it would be exciting to see how they turned it into a musical.
It was fabulous Sarah!! We loved every bit of it x
I really enjoyed the Legally Blonde films and it’s awesome that there’s a musical based on it. I think this is a must-see especially if you’re a fan of the films. This is definitely something that I’d enjoy watching.
Yes it brings back so much good memories for us too, we loved the film and the musical was equally funny
I love musicals and this sounds like one I would absolutely enjoy. The films were fab!
Yes if you loved the film, you would love the musical
I’m a sucker for all things musicals! This one sounds extra entertaining! I would love to see it soon!
Hope you do catch it Candice
We loved watching Reese Witherspoon in the original and can’t believe they’ve made it into a musical – sounds ace!

I love Legally Blonde and actually saw it in the West End and loved it, so happy it’s touring – Hopefully it’s coming up north! xo
Hope it does Rachel x
I feel like I’m the only person who isn’t a fan of either musicals or legally blonde. I would like to go and see a show though if you could recommend any that have less singing?
Yes there are loads being show at The Regent so stay tuned and we will share more Theatre Production Shows
I saw this when it was showing at The Savoy, it was an amazing show. I love the film and the theatre show
So glad to hear that Tanya
I have to say I really enjoyed the film and Love going to the theatre and this looks like such a fun production – I hope they come to Cardiff at some point
Laura x
Hope they do Laura
I haven’t been to see a musical in far too long! This sounds like a great one 🙂 never seen it but love the film
This is a super musical Bryanna, just a few more days to go before it ends
I remember Lucie Jones from the X Factor, she is the Welsh singer. This looks a totally fun and escapist production, one to go and see for sure
Yes totally agree, we all loved it
I am not usually one for musicals – but after seeing Dirty Dancing last year and secretly hoping that The Greatest Showman hits our stages – I now love a good musical! I can imagine this one was amazing, too.
Yes this is amazing, but it has ended. Try catching Lexicon, that’s ongoing at the moment and who knows you might be lucky enough to win a family ticket for 4 too
We saw Lucie Jones in panto and can see her being perfect for the role of Elle. We were lucky enough to see this when Sheridan Smith played her in the west end
How lucky, we love Sheridan Smith so she must have been equally fantastic
