Smash Hit Musical, Legally Blonde to Open in Melbourne in July

Melbourne's independent musical theatre group Theatrical Inc. have announced their latest production,
the smash hit show LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical which is set to
open for a limited season at The
National Theatre in St Kilda from July 12th, 2025. Based on the beloved
hit film Legally Blonde, this
fabulously fun award-winning musical follows the journey of Elle Woods as
she tackles stereotypes,
defies expectations, and proves that being true to yourself never goes out of
style! Elle Woods
appears to have it all, however her glossy life is turned upside down when her
boyfriend Warner dumps
her so he can find a more suitable partner while he attends Harvard Law.
Determined to get him back,
Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While
there, she struggles with peers,
professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, Elle quickly
realises her own potential
and sets out to prove herself to the world. This timeless show saw its original
Broadway production
earn seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Original Score. The West
End production won
three Laurence Olivier Awards in 2011, including Best New Musical. Additionally,
an Australian
production of the musical won five Helpmann Awards in 2013.

Executive Producer, Andrew Gyopar said, "Legally Blonde is a celebration of confidence, courage and

discovering who you really are. It's clever, funny and full of heart and I can't wait for Melbourne to fall in
love with this production and the incredible new talent we're so proud to introduce to the stage."

The production marks an exciting debut for Tasmanian, Emily McDougall, who is taking on the leading

role of Elle Woods. Emily is joined by a dynamic cast that brings together fresh faces and seasoned
performers, highlighting some of Melbourne's finest emerging talent. From familiar favourites who have
previously lit up the Theatrical Inc stage, to newcomers making their first appearance, this ensemble is
set to deliver a must-see production brimming with wit, charm, and dazzling performances.

LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical will play at The National Theatre in St Kilda from Wednesday to

Sunday from July 12th 2025. This vibrant production is a must-see for fans of Legally Blonde and
newcomers alike. The powerful messages from the show and film have stood the test of time and
elevated the character of Elle Woods to a celebrated feminist icon who defies traditional stereotypes of
women - as she rises to the challenges placed in front of her. Elle fearlessly demonstrates that femininity
and intelligence can coexist, and that women don't need to sacrifice their identities to succeed.
