A major new tour of hit musical comedy Legally Blonde is coming to the Midlands in 2026.

Directed by the Curve Leicester’s Nikolai Foster, casting and the creative team are to be announced.

Commenting on the announcement, he said: “Legally Blonde is firmly established in the musical theatre repertoire as a contemporary classic and it’s a pleasure to be reunited with “Little Miss Woods – comma – Elle” in the 2020s. Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach’s electrifying musical about empowerment, equality and the folly of judging a book by its cover remains pitch perfect and as relevant as ever. We have assembled a “mad props” creative team and together we are looking forward to creating a fresh, fun and sunny SoCal production of this great musical. And following the incredible success of Kinky Boots, it’s a thrill to collaborate again with our friends at ROYO. We can’t wait to share the show with audiences across the UK and Europe after Elle takes over Curve early 2026.”

Legally Blonde shows at The Alexandra, Birmingham from 31 March - 4 April; Wolverhampton Grand Theatre from 13-17 October; Regent Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent from 17-21 November.
