The upcoming Legally Blonde Musical tour just got a major boost: Amber Davies, a rising force on the West End, will don the pink heels and turn heads as Elle Woods. The production launches at the Curve in Leicester on 7 February 2026 before racing through 31 theatres across the UK and Ireland, promising a summer of sing‑along anthems and breezy choreography.
Tour Details and Schedule
Organisers have mapped a route that mixes big‑city arenas with beloved regional venues. After Leicester, the tour will swing to Manchester’s Palace Theatre, Birmingham’s New Alexandra, Glasgow’s King's, and Dublin’s Olympia, before wrapping up in Belfast’s Grand Opera House. Each stop will feature the same polished set‑piece design, complete with Elle’s signature pink lawn chair and a full orchestra that delivers the show’s chart‑topping numbers.
Ticket sales opened last week, and early‑bird demand is already outpacing supply in several markets. The production team says the tour will retain the West End’s technical specs – flying rigs for the “So Much Better” number, dynamic lighting for the “Bend and Snap” finale – while adjusting staging to fit each venue’s dimensions.
Amber Davies' Journey to Elle Woods
Davies brings a resume that reads like a crash course in modern musical theatre. After graduating from London’s Urdang Academy in 2016 with a Professional Diploma in Musical Theatre, she quickly landed roles that showcased both her vocal chops and comic timing.
- Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby: A New Musical at the London Coliseum.
- Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman The Musical on a UK tour.
- Lorraine Baines in the West End staging of Back to the Future at the Adelphi.
- Judy in the original West End cast of 9 to 5 the Musical (Savoy Theatre).
- Campbell in Bring It On The Musical at Southbank Centre.
- Annie Oakley in the 75th‑anniversary concert of Annie Get Your Gun at the London Palladium.
Beyond the stage, Davies popped up on TV, playing Jess in the CBBC series Almost Never and gaining a massive fanbase from her stint on ITV’s Love Island. She also produced the documentary Amber and Dolly: 9 to 5, chronicling a trip to Nashville to interview Dolly Parton and offering a behind‑the‑scenes look at her own West End debut.
Industry insiders say Davies’ blend of mainstream appeal and solid stagecraft makes her a perfect fit for Elle Woods, a character that demands both charisma and vocal agility. Her proven ability to attract audiences across theatre, TV, and streaming platforms is expected to give the tour a notable bump in ticket sales and media buzz.
As rehearsals gear up at the Curve’s in‑house studio, fans eagerly await a fresh take on the beloved story of a law student who proves that pink power can out‑wit any courtroom. With Amber Davies leading the charge, the Legally Blonde Musical tour promises to be one of the season’s most talked‑about theatrical events.
