Legally Blonde heading to the West End?!

Strong rumours are abound on whatsonstage discussion board today signalling that the Broadway hit show, Legally Blonde will be heading to the Savoy Theatre in London's West End. The show will open on December 5th 2009 and will star Sheridan Smith (Jonathon Creek) as Elle and Duncan James (Blue) as Warner. Expect an official announcement sometime in April which confirms this.

The show ran on Broadway for a year and a half before closing towards the end of last year. It has just embarked on a US nationwide tour.

The Savoy holds around 1150 people which means it's a pretty good size for a show like Legally Blonde - it shouldn't have any problems filling it for a while! The current show at the Savoy is the revival of Carousel staring Leslie Garrett.
