We are excited to share that we will be returning to The Brewhouse this spring with five productions of Legally Blonde: The Musical!

This 00s classic sees main character Elle Woods unexpectedly begin studying Law at Harvard, leading to a heartwarming and energetic journey of self-discovery. The musical has been a West End and Broadway smash hit. 

Rehearsals are already underway, with the cast of 70 chosen through an audition process and a further ten students supporting in backstage roles. Music will be provided by a professional orchestra which will include Taunton School staff members and Year 11 student Matilda.

Janey Carden, Head of Co-Curricular Drama at Taunton School, said: “This is a huge undertaking with so many students involved, however, rehearsals have been a blast – fast-moving, busy, funny, and stressful in equal measure, but we always leave with a smile on our face and a spring in our step. 

“I can’t wait to see this production play out on the Brewhouse stage and for all our hard work to pay off. We’re also very excited about two additional stars who will be joining us on stage – their identity will be kept a secret until opening night, except to say, they have eight legs between them! It’s set to be a fantastic week!” 

A huge well done to every student involved across Years 9 to 13, including Year 12 student Isabella who was selected for the lead role due to her exceptional singing, dancing, and acting abilities.

We would love to invite members of the Taunton School community to watch this high energy performance by our very own students. The performances are being held in Taunton’s largest Professional Theatre and Arts Centre, The Brewhouse Theatre, on:

Wednesday 4th March at 7:15pm

Thursday 5th March at 7:15pm

Friday 6th March at 7:15pm

Saturday 7th March at 2:30pm and 7:15pm

If you would like to attend any of the above performances, please head to the Taunton School Ticketsource website where you can book tickets directly. There is a suggested donation, but this is not obligatory and can be changed when booking.
