I’M EVERY WOMAN THE CHAKA KHAN MUSICAL to premiere at Peacock Theatre in March 2026
It has been announced that I’M EVERY WOMAN THE MUSICAL, the powerful and inspiring life story of the award-winning, multi-platinum selling global icon, Chaka Khan, will open at the Peacock Theatre in London for a strictly limited run from 5-28 March 2026.
The new musical, which reveals the woman behind the diva and her rise to stardom, has a book by Nia T. Hill, with direction by Racky Plews, choreography by Jade Hackett, and casting by Debbie O’Brien, with further creatives and casting to be announced.
Chaka Khan said: “Many of you know that my life has always influenced my music—but you may not know the full story. I've lived a rich, beautiful, and sometimes difficult life, and now those experiences will come alive on stage in I’m Every Woman: The Musical. It’s the greatest honour to have my journey and work celebrated in this way. London holds a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to share this moment with the fans who have sung, danced, and stood by me through it all. I’ve always wanted to inspire joy, truth, and love—and I know this musical will be filled with all of that and more. This is for you!”
The fame, the fire, the fight — this is her story. I’m Every Woman: The Musical brings to life the untold story of Chaka Khan, one of the most influential voices of our time. Unapologetically bold and deeply human, the production explores her unwavering passion for civil rights, her defiance in the face of a toxic music industry, the harrowing road through addiction, and the unrelenting pressure of being a working mother. At its core, it’s a story of resilience, purpose, and power — a celebration of the woman behind the legend.
I’M EVERY WOMAN THE MUSICAL will feature Chaka Khan’s much-loved songs released as a solo artist and lead singer of the band Rufus such as ‘I Feel For You’, ‘Tell Me Something Good’, ‘Ain’t Nobody’, ‘Sweet Thing’, ‘Higher Love’ and ‘Through The Fire’. The show, which is a journey of music, love and betrayal has a book that includes an array of Chaka’s famous friends from Joni Mitchell and Prince, to Stevie Wonder and Robert Palmer.
Producer Adrian Grant said: “I’m excited to be bringing a stage show about the life of Chaka Khan to the West End. I grew up listening to hits such as ‘Ain’t Nobody’ and ‘I Feel For You’, with her powerhouse vocals and electric videos which have left an undeniable imprint on popular culture. My brilliant creative team cannot wait to present that energy on stage, with a bold and empowering new musical celebrating Chaka’s legacy and amazing catalogue of songs.”
