Legally Blonde is a fabulously fun, award winning musical, based on the adored movie starring Reese Witherspoon. It follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances, this musical is so much fun it should be illegal!

Elle Woods appears to have it all. However, her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so that he can attend 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. But with the help of some new friends, Elle realises her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

The show features many well known local teenagers who have been prominent in previous productions of the Excel Youth Theatre Group, together with lots of new faces who are making their debut in this production.

The Excel Youth Theatre was founded in 2015 with the intention of bringing the joy and appreciation of musical theatre to the teenagers of Tipperary Town and surrounding area. Previous productions include Les Miserables, Children of Eden, West Side Story, Sister Act, Back to the 80s and Chicago.
