Legally Blonde at the Sunderland Empire Theatre

OMIGOD YOU GUYS! LEGALLY BLONDE HAS ARRIVED IN SUNDERLAND!

Award-winning Legally Blonde: The Musical has arrived at the Sunderland Empire Theatre this Christmas to dazzle audiences across the North East. It runs at the theatre between 6th – 31st December.

Legally Blonde won Best New Musical in the Whatsonstage.com Awards 2011 and was nominated for five Olivier Awards, going on to win Best New Musical, Best New Actress for Sheridan Smith and Best Supporting Role in a Musical for co-star Jill Halfpenny.

Based on the hit movie starring Reese Witherspoon, this critically acclaimed new musical is created by a top-of-their-class creative team, led by Tony Award-winning director and Olivier Award-nominated choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray).

College sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods doesn’t take no for an answer. So when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her for someone serious, Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and heads for Harvard Law School accompanied by her loveable Chihuahua, Bruiser.

The cast is led by Faye Brookes (Grease in the West End), Iwan Lewis (Fame in the West End, Passion at The Donmar Warehouse), Claire Sweeney (Chicago and Guys & Dolls in the West End, UK tour of Tell Me On a Sunday, BBC’s Candy Cabs and Channel 4’s Brookside), Neil Toon (Channel 4’s Hollyoaks, Les Misérables in the West End) and Dave Willetts (Les Misérables, Phantom of The Opera, Sunset Boulevard all in the West End).

This all singing, all dancing, feel-good musical comedy will be the highlight of your year and the most fashionable ticket in town. The verdict? This much fun shouldn’t be legal!
