The smash hit Musical based on the best loved movie follows beautiful and popular sorority sister Elle Woods who loves to be pampered and is passionate about pink. When she is dumped by her boyfriend Warner Huntingdon III for a more serious girlfriend she puts down the credit cards and picks up the books. Packing up her trusty pooch, Bruiser, she bags herself a place at the prestigious Harvard Law School to try and win him back. Along the way Elle meets Paulette and together they fight to get Paulette’s “precious baby Rufus” back from her ex-boyfriend.

Which dog will raise the roof of The Bristol Hippodrome? Will they meet the following criteria?

• A British Bulldog –although open to other breeds, but they need to have that look about them. Fairly bullish and robust.
• Temperament – Relaxed, laid back, good with people and enjoys a good fuss.
• Responsive to Commands – responds to ‘come here’, ‘sit’ etc and doesn’t just wander off.
• Tricks – If skills are good enough they could end up using them in the show!
• Experience – Although absolutely not essential, some form of stage experience would be a huge bonus
