Interview with star:
Sheridan Smith who plays the shows main character, Elle Woods on speaking to the Evening Standard said “The audience reaction is amazing. They wait outside for me in the rain afterwards so the least I can do is say hello to every single person who waits … it means hanging around for an extra hour but its more than worth it.”

College sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods is a spoilt Californian blonde who isn’t used to the N word (No). Her bored self righteous boyfriend, Warner, dumps her, supposedly for “someone serious”. Elle decides to fight back, figuring that money and looks can buy her whatever she desires. She gets out the credit card, discovers that she can just sort of hit the books, and that will get her to Harvard Law School!
It’s a fairy tale for the Paris Hilton generation. It’s all about anyone being able to achieve intellectually and I know (with my educator’s hat on) I probably ought to approve of that. Sadly I fear it really says “Ha, clever! I could do that if I was bothered. It’s nothing special cos you can’t just decide to be blond and pretty!” Do I sound bitter? LOL It’s just not aimed at me I suppose!
Based on the movie of the same name, Legally Blonde the Musical is a Broadway hit. It was created by a top creative team, led by Tony Award-winning director and Olivier nominated choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray). Legally Blonde – the video

Legally Blonde Reviews
Producer Sonia Friedman told The Guardian: "There is something going on in this theatre, that's for sure". She went on to say: "The first preview was what I imagine Beatlemania to have been like. You sometimes couldn't even hear the performers through the screaming. It was incredible. Now it has calmed down a bit, thankfully, so you can actually hear the show."
