With so many girl-friendly productions currently on offer, no matter what show you choose you can be sure to end up singing and dancing in the aisles. Check out these chick-flick inspired musicals below:
Mamma Mia
Recently adapted for the silver screen, this ABBA-extravaganza of a musical takes place on a small Greek island and follows one girl’s quest to find her father in time to walk her down the aisle. However, when three possible fathers turn up on the eve of her wedding she is not the only one in for a surprise… Featuring Abba’s most timeless hits including Dancing Queen, Super Trouper and The Winner Takes It All, if you have a penchant for skin-tight lycra and platform heels, you should definitely ‘take a chance’ on this one!
Legally Blonde, The Musical
Following the success of the hit film and sequel starring Hollywood favourite Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde has transformed to the West End stage, currently starring Gavin and Stacey’s Sheridan Smith and Blue heartthrob, Duncan James. The result is a fun, frothy production full of colour, comedy and catchy songs that will be sure to have you singing along from beginning to end.
Dirty Dancing
If you’re looking for some pure girly self-indulgence then look no further than cult classic Dirty Dancing. Adapted for the stage from the much-loved film starring the late Patrick Swayzee, this live production celebrates all the iconic moments from the film, from that embarrassing watermelon moment to the famous final dance routine. Featuring all the classic hit songs such as Hungry Eyes and Hey Baby, you can be sure to have ‘the time of your life’….
Hairspray
Currently starring comic favourite, Brian Conley, this all-singing all dancing spectacle has completely taken the West End by storm. Set in the swinging sixties, when big hair, big hearts and big dreams were all the rage, the story follows the life of dance-obsessed Tracy Turnblad and her goal to make it big. Full to the brim with lively dance routines and heaps of comedy moments, Hairspray will definitely put a smile on your face.
