Legally Blonde is a 2007 musical with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach. It is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name.

The show tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and she successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Throughout the show, very few characters have faith in Elle, with the exception of her aesthetician Paulette, but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.

This show is revered by many as one of the greatest modern musicals of our time and in 2026 Singapore Repetory Theatre presented it as a bold push for their vision of Musical Theatre in Singapore. A bold and brave production helmed by Kate Golledge and starring Nathania Ong, opened to rave reviews. Celebrated for its all local Singaporean cast, it was a clear sign of the skill and talent of Musical Theatre performers in the country.
