Actor Alex Gaumond is currently wowing the Palace Theatre as Galileo in We Will Rock You, but it’s been revealed he’s heading for Harvard (kind of).
Alex has won the role of Emmet in the new West End version of the hit Broadway show Legally Blonde: The Musical.
It’s the stage version of the Reese Witherspoon ‘fish out of water’ rom com that sees spoilt sorority girl Elle Woods head to the Ivy League college to win back her man.
While there she befriends the kind, but slightly nerdy tutor Emmet (played by Luke Wilson in the movie).
I saw the show while in New York in August 2007, and can safely say it is brilliant. Very clever, wonderful original songs and very so funny.
I can’t wait to see the West End version, that stars Sheridan Smith as Elle and Duncan James as her ex Warner.
And I think Alex will be simply perfect as Emmet.
