Following the resoundingly successful production of the Elvis-inspired musical, All Shook Up, at the Royal Theatre and Event Centre last year, the Castlebar Musical and Dramatic Society are back on stage once again, this time with the vibrant and empowering Legally Blonde: The Musical.

The show will run at the Royal Theatre from March 7th to 9th inclusive.

Get ready to be dazzled by the sparkling performances, catchy tunes and hilarious moments that this iconic musical has to offer.

Based on the movie of the same name, Legally Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods (played by Lorna Dennehy) as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Elle is a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and she successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Throughout the show, very few characters have faith in Elle, but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.

Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances, Legally Blonde: The Musical is so much fun it should be illegal!

With a production team comprising director Donna Ruane, musical director, Deirdre Lee, choreographer Claudia O’Sullivan, and a dream cast and chorus, this is a win-win on every level and a show not to be missed!

Sensory-friendly show

On March 9th, at 2pm, there is a relaxed, sensory-friendly performance that provides a welcoming and inclusive environment which can be enjoyed by all. During this performance, there will be a laid-back approach to noise and movement coming from the audience, permitting and encouraging everyone to relax and be completely themselves while enjoying Legally Blonde.

The show’s lighting and sound will be adjusted to reduce sensory stimuli and the lights in the auditorium will be kept on at a low level throughout the performance to create a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment.

There will also be a ‘chill-out’ area where people can go if they find they need some quiet time away from the auditorium.

Tickets for all performances are priced at €18.50 and are available at www.castlebarmds.com.
