West End and Broadway hit musical comedy about Elle Woods, with Amber Davies in the title role, at the Sunderland Empire.
Legally Blonde The Musical is playing at the Sunderland Empire from 1 to 5 December, with the first curtain going up at 7:30pm on 1 December. It's a musical comedy based on the Reese Witherspoon film, and it's had a long run as a West End and Broadway hit. The story follows Elle Woods, who goes from fashionista to legal ace at Harvard Law School as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams.
Amber Davies takes the lead as Elle, and she's no stranger to the musical stage: she's also played the title roles in Pretty Woman and 9 to 5 The Musical. The production comes from the creative team behind director Nikolai Foster's Kinky Boots, so it's a familiar set of hands on a show that's already won its fair share of awards.
If you're planning your visit, it's worth noting that the 3 December matinee will be understudied by Hannah Lowther, who steps in for Davies that afternoon. The run spans five days, with a 2:30pm matinee on 2 December alongside the 7:30pm evening show, so you've got a couple of options if a weekday evening doesn't work for you.
