BLONDE hair, plenty of bubblegum pink and, of course, Bruiser Woods – it could only be Legally Blonde The Musical.

Winner of seven major awards, including the coveted Best Musical 2011 Olivier Awards, the all-singing, all-dancing romantic comedy is at Bournemouth’s Pavilion Theatre until Saturday.

Following last year’s successful staging of Grease, BBLOC is putting on the production of the seemingly vacuous bubbly blonde sorority girl Elle Woods, who gains a place at Harvard Law School in a bid to win back the boyfriend who dumped her for someone more serious.

But if there’s one thing this show is not, it’s serious. Based on the hit film starring Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde is quite possibly the campest musical I’ve seen.

With a host of upbeat songs, energetic dance routines – including a very impressive turn with skipping ropes – and plenty of pink costumes and scenery, it proved hugely entertaining.

There were some very professional performances, including some great character roles and singing voices, showcased by the cast - including one who bravely managed to overcome a leg injury.

Even the two dogs, playing Elle’s beloved Chihuahua Bruiser and beautician Paulette’s pet pooch Rufus, put in show-stealing performances.

It was a little hard to make out some of the words, but that did little to detract from the fun of what was, overall, a well-polished production.

A great girls’ night out, which proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.
