HAS YOUR POoCH GOT THE STAGE FACTOR?

Legally Blonde The Musical
Sunderland Empire
Monday 16th – Saturday 21st April 2018


OMG you guys!!! The producers behind the new tour of the smash-hit Broadway and West End musical Legally Blonde The Musical are on the hunt for a four-legged star to take centre stage at Sunderland Empire.

Could your pampered pet or family pooch be destined for fame? Legally Blonde The Musical has two dogs in the cast - a Chihuahua called Bruiser and another called Rufus. Bruiser is already cast and will be on the road with the cast but producers have decided to hold auditions for ‘Rufus’ in every town and city on the tour.

Auditions will be held for Sunderland Empire dates at the theatre on Tuesday 13 February 2018. For more information on the auditions and to register interest please contact the producers direct by email legallyblondedogauditions@gmail.com by Wednesday 31 January 2018.

David Barrett, Associate Director for Legally Blonde The Musical said: “Legally Blonde The Musical is a show all about stereotypes and not judging a book by its cover and the dogs are no different in this. So whereas ‘Bruiser’ is the cute, tiny, adorable one, with ‘Rufus’ we are looking for the total opposite. We are looking for a big, brutish, dog that only its mother could love - preferably a Bull Dog as in the film but we are certainly open to options.”

Bill Ward 
EastEnders’ Rita Simons, Lucie Jones, who represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest last year and Bill Ward (Coronation Street and Emmerdale) star in this all singing, all dancing romantic comedy, a fun-filled, feel-good pink fest.
