Pierre Png and Siti Khalijah join SRT's Legally Blonde musical cast

Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) announced that actors Pierre Png and Siti Khalijah Zainal are joining the cast of its upcoming production of "Legally Blonde." Png will play Kyle the UPS Guy, a character who becomes romantically involved with Paulette. Siti Khalijah, also known as Siti K, will step into the role of Paulette, described as Elle Woods' warm-hearted friend, manicurist, and confidante.

For Png, this role marks a return to the stage after a decade, with his last performance being in "Mulan The Musical" in 2016. He expressed enthusiasm for playing Kyle, aiming to embody the character's confidence and "swag." Siti Khalijah was drawn to Paulette's warmth and authenticity, seeing her as a fun character who brings heart and humor to the story. She appreciated the opportunity to play someone unapologetically herself, believing audiences will connect with the character.

Playing the role of Kyle will be fun because I want to be like him in real life – confident, funny, and have one 'helluva' swag!

The production features West End performer Nathania Ong as Elle Woods and singer-songwriter Nathan Hartono as Warner Huntington III. "Legally Blonde The Musical" is based on Amanda Brown's novel and the popular 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon. It follows sorority president Elle Woods as she navigates Harvard Law School, challenging stereotypes and discovering her own capabilities along the way. The musical will be staged at the Esplanade Theatre from July 29 to August 16, 2026, with ticket prices ranging from S$38 to S$228.

Paulette is such a fun character because she brings so much heart, humour and personality to the story. What attracted me to the role was the opportunity to play someone who's unapologetically herself. Audiences can laugh with her, root for her, and maybe even see a little bit of themselves in her.
