The producers of the smash-hit Broadway and West End production, Legally Blonde The Musical are on the hunt for a star-studded pup to join an all-star cast when the show arrives at the King’s Theatre in Glasgow.

Auditions will be held at Theatre Royal on Wednesday 14th February for the part of Rufus, character Paulette Bonafonté’s dog.

The chosen canine will star alongside, Eastender’s Rita Simmons, Eurovision singer Lucie Jones, Emmerdale’s Bill Ward and of course, Elle’s dog Brusier.

Legally Blonde The Musical will run at the King’s from Monday 23 until Saturday 28 April 2018.

The producers are ideally looking for a bulldog but will consider other breeds.

Associate Director David Barrett said: “Our cute Brusier has already been cast and we are looking for a big, brutish dog that only its mother could love to play Rufus during the Glasgow run. Preferably a bulldog like in the film, but we are certainly open to options.”

If you think your dog has what it takes, please contact legallyblondedogauditions@gmail.com for more information and an application form.

Legally Blonde The Musical is an all singing, all dancing romantic comedy, a fun filled, feel-good pink fest.
