On this journey of self-discovery, she makes new friends, gains the respect of her peers, realises her potential and proves to herself and the world that she is more than a ‘dumb blonde’. An unapologetically fun show that keeps a twinkle in its eye and is 100% pure entertainment from start to finish, Legally Blonde will leave you with a smile on your face, a fondness for chihuahuas and a new-found love of pink! The production team is looking for a fit and energetic cast of 24 plus a Chihuahua and a Bulldog! All minor roles will be covered by the ensemble, ensuring there is very little ‘off-stage’ time for all performers. High stamina and energy will be needed throughout rehearsals and runs of this show.
