Whatsonstage.com is reporting that Legally Blonde is poised to be this season's monster hit in the West End, 'reporting £2million advance ticket sales and a 'Beatlemania'-like atmosphere' at the Savoy Theatre, where the production is currently in previews.
In January 2008, multi-Tony Award and Oliver nominated leading lady Marin Mazzie who currently plays 'The Lady of the Lake' on Broadway will join the London cast, swapping roles with Hannah Waddingham who flies to New York to make her debut on the Great White Way.
On 17 October 2007, Monty Python's Spamalot will celebrate a year in London's West End at the Palace Theatre where it is currently booking until March 1, 2008.
