Denise Van Outen confirmed for Legally Blonde role
Friday, 27 August 2010
As previously rumoured, Denise Van Outen will be taking to the stage later this year in the hit West End musical Legally Blonde.
The performer - who recently gave birth to a daughter named Betsy - is to replace Jill Halfpenny as beautician Paulette in the show at the Savoy Theatre.
She will also be joined by Siobhan Dillon from Grease and Carley Stenson, who previously played Steph Dean on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.
The trio of actresses will join Legally Blonde on October 25th 2010.
Van Outen has already trod the boards of the West End in Chicago and Tell Me on a Sunday in the past.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Sheridan Smith will be playing lead character Elle Woods in the musical until at least January 2011.
The Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps star said she was looking forward to the prospect of a "Chihuahua-filled Christmas".
