NEWS: I’m Every Woman The Musical to Open in London in 2026

It has been announced that a new musical following the life Chaka Khan will be heading to London next year, produced by Adrian Grant in association with Chaka Khan. 

This new musical will 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

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.

Featuring a book by Nia T Hill, the musical will feature direction by Racky Plews, choreography by Jade Hackett, and casting by Debbie O’Brien. Willette Klausner Murphy for WMK Productions is the co-producer. 

Further creative team and casting has yet to be announced and tickets are set to go on sale the 19th May. Official opening night has been set for the 11th March.

Talking about the news 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!”
