Producers of the new tour of Legally Blonde The Musical are on the hunt for four-legged stars to appear in the Manchester run when it arrives at the Palace Theatre June 24 to 30. Auditions to find a perfect pooch for the role are to be held at the Palace on February 2.

EastEnders’ Rita Simons, Lucie Jones, who is representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest with "Never Give Up On You" on May 13, and Bill Ward, star of Coronation Street and Emmerdale, are the human stars of the show.

But Legally Blonde The Musical also has two dogs in the cast: a Chihuahua called Bruiser and another called Rufus. Bruiser is already cast and will be on the road with the cast but producers have decided to hold auditions for Rufus in every town and city on the tour.
