Amber Davies (The Great Gatsby) has been cast as Elle Woods in the new touring production of Legally Blonde The Musical, which will visit Wimbledon New Theatre in October 2026.
The ultimate feel-good rom-com, based on the film starring Reese Witherspoon, follows Elle Woods on her transformation from ‘It Girl’ fashionista to legal ace at Harvard Law School, all in the name of love. Elle must prove she is more than blonde ambition, swap the changing rooms for the courtroom and learn that ‘being true to yourself never goes out of style.’
Based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Browning and the iconic 2001 film of the same name starring Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge, the award-winning musical features a book by Heather Hach and original music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
It will be directed by Nikolai Foster (Kinky Boots) and choreographed by Leah Hill (Kinky Boots) with musical supervision by Matt Spencer- Smith (Here & Now), set design by Colin Richmond (The Little Big Things), lighting design by Ben Cracknell (Clueless) and sound design by Adam Fisher (Here & Now).
Legally Blonde is produced by Royo and Curve.
*Amber Davies will not be performing at every performance on the tour. Check the venue website for information.
