Legally Blonde
17 - 21 May 2016
Director and choreographer: Nick Brannam
Musical director: Rachel Glover
The Haymarket, Basingstoke
Evenings: 7:30 pm, Saturday matinees: 2:30 pm
Elle Woods is a Beverly Hills beauty who seems to have it all – couture clothes, fabulous friends and the hottest boyfriend, Warner Huntington III.
But when Warner dumps her and heads to Harvard Law School, Elle is determined to win him back. So she takes matters into her perfectly manicured hands – and enrols too!
This hilarious, heart-warming musical sees Elle battle snobbish students and prejudiced professors. Helped by new-found friends Emmett and Paulette – and Bruiser, her beloved Chihuahua – Elle finally proves that being yourself and going after what you want never goes out of style.
Based on the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon – and with fantastic original songs – the all-singing, all-dancing Legally Blonde is so much fun it should be illegal!
