The award-winning Sheffield youth theatre company returns to the stage at the Merlin Theatre in Nether Edge from April 30 to May 3 with a new production of musical comedy hit Legally Blonde.
And joining the cast on stage for a special acting debut will be Fizzy, who has been selected to play heroine Elle Woods’ popular pooch Bruiser.
Keeping an eye on Fizzy and making sure the pampered pet doesn’t do too much scene-stealing will be owner Nell Tagg, who is a member of the Easy Street acting company.
Legally Blonde - based on the much-loved Hollywood comedy starring Reece Witherspoon - the story of the girl who appears to have it all until her life is turned upside-down when her boyfriend dumps her to attend Harvard Law School.
Determined to get him back, she sets off in pursuit but surprises herself when she discovers that she too has the potential to be a legal eagle, overcoming dumb blonde stereotypes and taking the court room by storm as she tackles the defence in a notorious murder trial.
The show, filled with catchy songs like Omigod You Guys and Bend and Snap, celebrates empowerment, self confidence and staying true to oneself.
The Easy Street production is directed by Beth Bloor, with musical direction by Gareth Lloyd and choreography by Amanda Tyas.
