This February York Light Opera Company are bringing the award-winning musical comedy Legally Blonde to the Main House stage at York Theatre Royal.
Join Elle Woods, a seemingly ditzy sorority girl with a heart of gold, as she tackles Harvard Law School to win back her man. Along the way Elle discovers her own strength and intelligence, proving that you can be both a beautiful blonde and brilliant.
Packed with infectious music, Legally Blonde is a fun, feel-good show with a powerful message about staying true to yourself and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for audiences of all ages. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this sassy and stylish musical live on stage.
Martyn Knight, Director said, “We are so excited to bring this empowering and hilarious show to York. Our production will celebrate Legally Blonde‘s joy and energy while highlighting its important message of self-discovery and female empowerment.”
The show will star Emma Swainston as Elle Woods, who audiences will recognise from local amateur productions of Doctor Doolittle, The Railway Children, Fiddler on the Roof and more recently as Sister Mary Leo in York Light Opera Company’s Nunsense. A cast of 34 others will be bringing the fabulous characters to life – including Zander Fick as Emmett Forrest, Emily Hardy as Paulette Bonafonte, Neil Wood as Professor Callahan, Emily Rockliff as Vivienne Kensington, Helen Miller as Enid Hoopes and Pippa Elmes as Brooke Wyndham.
Emma Swainston, who is playing Elle Woods said: “I’m thrilled to be playing Elle Woods, it’s a dream role! Growing up I watched Reese Witherspoon play Elle in the original in the film on video, on repeat… and she’s such an icon. Elle is a really inspiring character and I can’t wait to share her journey with the audience.”
A fun-filled evening for the whole family, tickets for this hilarious musical adventure are available from just £15.
Legally Blonde is at York Theatre Royal from 13 Feb – 22 Feb.
