Date: 31 January 2008

Legally Blonde is gearing up for a West End premiere later this year, possibly in November (See

Jerry Mitchell was available on Tuesday to collect the Critics’ Circle Award for
Hairspray (the choreographer both directed and choreographed
Legally Blonde in New York). The stage show is based on the 2001 Hollywood comedy in which Reese Witherspoon played a ditzy West Coast sorority queen who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School in an attempt to win him back. It has music and lyrics by husband-and-wife team Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe. Songs include “Ohmigod You Guys”, “Serious”, “The Harvard Variations”, “Whipped into Shape”, “Find My Way” and the title number.
