Legally Blonde - The Musical
Autumn 2021

Music and Lyrics by
Laurence O'Keefe and
Nell Benjamin

​Book by
Heather Hach

Based on the novel by Amanda Brown
and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.

Based on the 2001 blockbuster movie starring Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, proving that you can be legally blonde and STILL be the smartest person in the room. This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a break-neck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. Fabulously fun and internationally award-winning, Legally Blonde the Musical is the ultimate heart-warming tribute to Girl Power proving that self-discovery can be fun and hilarious to boot.

UPDATE - MARCH 2021
​Thank you all so much for your patience and we hope you understand that the current situation has made it incredibly difficult to confirm any concrete plans in regards to our upcoming performances of Legally Blonde.

We had originally hoped to stage the production in the spring of 2021, but due to the ongoing health risks of COVID-19 and the current UK restrictions, the re-opening dates of the show have had to be pushed back once again.

The release of the UK government's road map out of lockdown and the phenomenal vaccination programme that is currently underway now gives us a much clearer picture of when both rehearsals and indoor performances can resume.

Legally Blonde is a highly complex show with a cast and crew of over 50 individuals and Mayhem's highest priority is to ensure the safety of everyone involved including our wonderful audiences. We are also firmly committed to bringing Legally Blonde to Kingston and to guaranteeing that the production will be every bit as spectacular as was originally envisaged. 

Our fabulous cast and creative team are now gearing up for rehearsals and the production team are working closely with the theatre in regards to their re-opening and to fix the dates of the new performances. All ticket booking will be automatically transferred over to the new dates as soon as they are confirmed and all ticket holders will be contacted immediately to discuss any potential issues.
 
Whilst it is our hope that our audience would still wish to attend the performances on one of the revised dates, we appreciate that this may not be possible in all cases, in which case a full refund (including the associated Ticketsource booking fees) will be arranged. If you require any further information in regards to the postponement of the production, please do not hesitate to contact us at legallyblonde@mayhemtheatre.co.uk

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay Legally Blonde!
