Producer Adrian Grant is delighted to announce that I’M EVERY WOMAN – THE CHAKA KHAN MUSICAL will transfer to Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre from 22 July - 27 September for a limited season starring multi-platinum recording artist and award-winning actress Alexandra Burke* (The X Factor, Sister Act, The Bodyguard, Curfew) as Chaka Khan.
The musical made its premiere earlier this year with performances at Hackney Empire, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne.
The new musical reveals the woman behind the icon and charts her rise to stardom. It has a book by Nia T. Hill, direction by Racky Plews, music supervision by Mark Crossland, choreography by Ebony Clarke, casting by Debbie O’Brien, production management by Toby P Darvill, and general management by Emily Obasohan.
The fame, the fire, the fight - this is her story. I’m Every Woman 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 features 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.
Further casting for the production will be announced in due course.
