Fans of the best in theatre breaks will have the chance to see extended runs of two West End hits.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert at the Palace Theatre and Legally Blonde at the Savoy Theatre are now booking until February 26th 2011 and February 20th 2011 respectively.

The flamboyant Australian musical tells the tale of three drag artists embarking on a journey across the outback in their battered old bus called Priscilla.

From March 8th, the cast will also be changed, with Don Gallagher replacing Tony Sheldon as Bernadette, joining the likes of Jason Donovan and Oliver Thornton in the production.

Legally Blonde, which opened earlier this month, has already received a number of positive reviews, with Sheridan Smith starring in the role of Elle Woods.

Having also been a hit on Broadway, it tells the story of Woods ditching the blonde image and credit cards to get into law school after been dumped by her boyfriend.

Jamie Theakston, reviewing the play for Heart FM, said that it is London's funniest and brightest production.
