Jennifer Ellison to replace Sheridan Smith in Legally Blonde?
Legally Blonde may soon be welcoming Jennifer Ellison to its cast.
Friday, 2 July 2010
Jennifer Ellison could be in line to replace Sheridan Smith in Legally Blonde later this autumn, it has been revealed.
Daily Mail columnist Baz Bamigboye said he has found out that the former Brookside actress is in "talks and talks" about taking the lead role of Elle Woods when Smith comes to the end of her stint at the Savoy Theatre in a few months.
Ellison will appear in the touring version of Calendar Girls when it stops off in Liverpool in September for a week, so any West End appearances would have to be after this period.
The actress - who once played the lead role in Chicago - recently told the Liverpool Echo that she loves appearing on the stage.
"Every show is completely different. Getting the feedback from the audience is great," she commented.
However, should Ellison come to the West End again, she is sure to be hoping to avoid any injuries. The actress told the publication that she dislocated her kneecap during her stint in Chicago.
