Yessss!

Legally Blonde The Musical is coming back to Ireland – and we couldn’t be more excited.

The smash hit Broadway and West End musical is already scheduled for a run at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre in Dublin next March, but it’s now been confirmed more Irish shows.

Based on the hit Hollywood movie starring Reese Witherspoon, the all singing, all dancing romantic comedy, a fun-filled, feel-good pink fest will be coming to the INEC Killarney between July 10 and July 14, 2018.

It tells the story of college sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods who, after being dumped for someone more serious, decides to hit the books and head to Harvard Law School.

Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

Legally Blonde The Musical will feature former EastEnders star Rita Simons and Coronation Street‘s Bill Ward as Elle Woods’ pal Paulette Bonafonte and Professor Callahan respectively.

The hit show also has two dogs in its cast, Bruiser the Chihuahua and a “big, brutish, dog that only its mother could love” named Rufus, who they will be holding open auditions for after every stop on the tour.

The musical earned seven Tony Award nominations and 10 Drama Desk Award nominations throughout its Broadway run.

It was also nominated for 5 Laurence Olivier Awards in the UK, winning 3 including Best New Musical.

It was nominated for 8 Whatsonstage Awards winning 4 including Best Musical.

Tickets are available now from www.inec.ie and www.ticketmaster.ie. They are priced beginning at €39.05.
