Claire Sweeney is currently playing the part of Paulette on the tour of Legally Blonde,  but is due to leave the show on 11th February to start rehearsals for Educating Rita which she is starring in with Matthew Kelly at the Menier Chocolate Factory in April before taking it out on tour.

Niki Evans (pictured) will take over the role from 14th February when the show opens at Sheffield.  Evans was a finalist in the fourth series of the X Factor in 2007 and has since appeared as Mrs Johnstone in both the UK tour and West End production of Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers. 

Ray Quinn and Les Dennis also recently joined the Legally Blonde tour as Warner and Professor Callahan.
