On the heels of the news that Legally Blonde: The Musical is testing out a new reviewing policy in the U.K. whereby reviewers come a few days prior to opening night to better prep their comments, the producers have now revealed that they are instituting the West End's first ever lottery.  

A common practice in New York, now London theater goers will have the chance to win up to 20 top tickets for just £10 during the previews of Legally Blonde.

2 hours before each performance, audience hopefuls can collect a free lottery ticket at the Savoy box office. 30 minutes later tickets will be drawn entitling the holders (who have to be present) to buy up to 2 tickets for just £10 (usually £40-£55).

Patrons must show up at the Savoy box office at 5.30pm for 7.30pm performances, 12.30pm for 2.30pm Thursday and Saturday matinees and 1pm for Sunday matinees.  Tickets are £10 for preview performances 6 December 2009 - 13 January 2010 and £25 for performances from 14 January 2010.

The lottery is available only in-person at the Savoy box office and tickets must be paid for in cash only.

Peter Davison and Jill Halfpenny join SheriDan Smith, Duncan James, Alex Gaumond, Aoife Mulholland and Susan McFadden in Jerry Mitchell's Legally Blonde The Musical, which began previews at the Savoy Theatre on 5 December 2009. Currently booking until 23 May 2010, Legally Blonde: The Musical has now added Sunday performances to its schedules. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winning Jerry Mitchell, Legally Blonde The Musical has music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, book by Heather Hach, set design by David Rockwell, costume design by Gregg Barnes, lighting design byKenneth Posner and Paul Miller, sound design by Acme Sound Partners and orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke.

College sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods (SheriDan Smith) doesn't take no for an answer. So when her boyfriend Warner (Duncan James) dumps her for someone serious, Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and heads for Harvard Law! Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.
