I’m Every Woman, a new musical about 10-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Chaka Khan, will make its world premiere at the Peacock Theatre in the West End from 5-28 March 2026.

The show chart's Khan's legendary life and career, including her civil rights activism in the Black Panther Party, her time as the lead singer of funk band Rufus, and her celebrated solo career. The show includes her hit songs including "I’m Every Woman," "I Feel For You," "Tell Me Something Good," "Ain’t Nobody," "Sweet Thing," "Higher Love," and "Through The Fire."

The show's book, by Nia T. Hill, also chronicles many of Khan's famous friends like Joni Mitchell, Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Robert Palmer. The show is produced by Adrian Grant in association with Chaka Khan, with Racky Plews directing and Jade Hackett choreographing.

"Many of you know that my life has always influenced my music — but you may not know the full story," Khan said in a statement. "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!"

Additional cast and creative team information has yet to be shared.
