Legally Blonde Comes to London

Interesting to hear especially as it was rumoured last year, wonder which theatre it's going into to? I think it might be The Dominion or The Apollo Victoria though I can't see Wicked or WWRY closing just yet.

They was rumours of The Picadilly being a possible venue but considering it's too small in both seating and stage, i would think they would opt for the larger venue.

The Palace I think would be more likely for either Oliver! or Priscilla though I don't think that Spamalot is going just yet.

Interesting to hear Spamalot is struggling, thought the Swedish reality show might of helped boost sales. Perhaps Phantom of Manhattan could go there when ALW finishes it.

Priscilla will most likely go to a RUG theatre as they are producing it, Palladium or Drury Lane perhaps?

I mentioned on here this was coming months ago, im glad the rumor appears to be true.It was looking at the Piccadilly theatre at the time and 1 other venue

if its the piccadilly, we are in for a crap set then! That set is huge on broadway and works

dont be fat and lazy....type it in yourself!

The address might not work but whats there shows its been registered.

congrats!!!!! hope you west enders love the show. i saw the show twic and hope to see it again. i live in ny.

I do hope that PRISCILLA doesn't go to the Drury Lane.

I can see this going into the Dominion theatre. Only because just like the Palace on Broadway it is a Nederlander theatre and the show is going to have the same producers. They have a good business relationship I am sure.

It's not as in terms of sets as people are making it out to be. The only really big set peace is the Delta Nu house. But, there is one thing you have to know about the Palace Theatre and why a lot of producers love using that theatre.

They love using that theatre because it has a kind of stage where they can really custom make their set for that theatre. Beauty and the Beast did that. Their set when it was playing at the Palace couldn't fit into any other theatre.

Now, most musicals when they are playing at a theatre can easilly have the same set ect at another theatre on Broadway.

When Beauty moved they had to use the old tour set on Broadway because their set at the Palace would only work at the palace and no where else.

Its had a bonus couple of years extra as it was due to close October 06...I hope they close it and give The Dominion a wee tart-up before Blonde (if) goes in!

Sadly there's very little they can do to the Dominion besides a lick of paint. Huge parts of the theatre are totally blocked off to the public and staff due to the discovery of asbestos back in the early/ mid 80s. I was working there when they started to find it and it was quiet startling as too how fast parts, such as corridors, offices, public bars and some areas backstage got sealed up. There's a whole gorgeous garden cafe that cant be reached now due to the asbestos.
Thats how it stands today, leave it alone or the whole building comes down. Camden Council have been amazing in the handling of the Dominion.
