Amber Davies will take on the iconic role of Elle Woods in the brand-new Made at Curve production of Legally Blonde The Musical, touring the UK and Ireland from 7 February 2026.
The tour opens at Leicester’s Curve Theatre and will run until 7 January 2027. The production is co-produced by ROYO and Curve.
Amber Davies most recently originated the role of Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. Her previous credits include Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman, Lorraine Baines in Back to the Future The Musical, and Campbell in Bring It On. She made her professional debut as Judy in 9 to 5 the Musical at the Savoy Theatre.
Amber said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be playing the iconic role of Elle Woods in ROYO and Curve’s new production of Legally Blonde. As a huge fan of the film and the musical, this part is the role of a lifetime, and I am honoured to be stepping into Elle’s perfect heels. I have always wanted to work with the incredible theatrical mind that is Nikolai Foster, and I am so excited to hit the road again and bring Laurence O’Keefe’s incredible score back to the UK! Get ready Harvard… This is gonna be just like senior year except for funner!”
The musical is based on the novel by Amanda Browning and the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge. It features a book by Heather Hach and music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
Legally Blonde The Musical will be directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, choreographed by Leah Hill, with musical supervision by Matt Spencer-Smith. The creative team also includes Colin Richmond (set design), Ben Cracknell (lighting design), and Adam Fisher (sound design).
This new production follows the success of the recent Kinky Boots tour, also directed by Foster and co-produced by Curve and ROYO.
“Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed.”
The story follows Elle Woods as she transforms from fashion-loving It girl to legal ace at Harvard Law School, proving that being true to yourself never goes out of style.
Legally Blonde The Musical is produced by ROYO and Curve.
