Legally Blonde hits London theatre

‘Legally Blonde’ was a successful romantic comedy film starring Reese Witherspoon which has now been turned into a musical London theatre show. It follows the trend to turn films into musicals. Perhaps it isn’t surprising with both ‘Sister Act’ and ‘Dirty Dancing’ continuing to do great business in the West End of London.

This new London theatre show will star Sheridan Smith and Duncan James. They will be joined by Susan McFadden and Aoife Mulholland, both of whom started their careers on television talent shows.

The show starts previews on the 5th of December 2009. It was due to open on the 12th of January but the producers have now announced what they have described as a “Broadway style” opening schedule. There will be five press preview performances from the 7th to the 12th of January 2010 and a gala opening on the 13th of January. They have also insisted that all reviews are embargoed until the 14th of January.

The show is also going to be following the example of ‘The Lion King’ and the National Theatre by having Sunday matinees. These will be at 3.00pm and will take the place of Tuesday evening performances.

The show premiered on Broadway in April 2007. It is directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell with music and lyrics by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O’ Keefe.

The show promises to be a great night out and these London theatre tickets will be popular. At Concierge Desk, we can sort out not only cheap London theatre tickets but also offer great deals on dinner too.
