The pink powerhouse is getting even bigger. Full casting has now been revealed for the 2026 UK and Ireland tour of Legally Blonde The Musical, with Hannah Lowther, George Crawford, Karen Mavundukure and Adam Cooper joining previously announced star Amber Davies in the brand-new Made at Curve production.

Produced by ROYO and Curve, the tour opens at Leicester’s Curve theatre on 7 February 2026 before heading across the UK and Ireland, running until 2 January 2027.

Musical theatre and TikTok favourite Hannah Lowther takes on the role of Margot and will also serve as alternate Elle Woods, stepping into the iconic pink heels when Amber Davies is not performing. Lowther is no stranger to big West End audiences, having appeared in SIX and Heathers, and her casting brings fresh energy and star appeal to the tour.

They are joined by George Crawford as Emmett, whose recent credits include The Great Gatsby at the London Coliseum and Newsies. Karen Mavundukure stars as the much-loved Paulette, bringing warmth and powerhouse vocals following standout roles in Stranger Things: The First Shadow, The Colour Purple and Dreamgirls. Completing the leading quartet is Adam Cooper as Callahan, whose celebrated career spans A Chorus Line, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake and the film adaptation of Billy Elliot.

The company is further bolstered by Jamie Chatterton as Warner, Annabelle Terry as Vivienne, Jocasta Almgill as Brooke, Rosanna Harris as Serena and Remi Ferdinand as Pilar. They are joined by Ty-Reece Stewart as Kyle and Bradley Delarosbel as Carlos, alongside a strong ensemble including Keanna Bloomfield, James Lim, Aaron Shales, Jaime Tait, Daisy Twells, Louie Wood, Raiaz Fisher, Dylan Gordon-Jones, Lauren Hampton and Ollie Hart-Bradford.

Based on the iconic film starring Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde The Musical features a book by Heather Hach with music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin. The show is directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, with choreography by Leah Hill and musical supervision by Matt Spencer-Smith.

Fresh from the sell-out success of Kinky Boots, this new production promises high-energy choreography, big-hearted comedy and an irresistible score that celebrates confidence, friendship and staying true to yourself.

Elle Woods is heading back to court, and this tour is shaping up to be one of 2026’s feel-good theatre highlights.
