Curve's Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said: 'Legally Blonde is firmly established in the musical theatre repertoire as a contemporary classic and it's a pleasure to be reunited with 'Little Miss Woods' in the 2020s.
"Laurence O'Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach's electrifying musical about empowerment, equality and the folly of judging a book by its cover remains pitch perfect and as relevant as ever.
"We can't wait to share the show with audiences across the UK and Europe after Elle takes over Curve early 2026."
