Powerhouse vocalist and actress Alexandra Burke is set to bring the life and legacy of Chaka Khan to the West End in ‘I’m Every Woman: The Musical.’

Full story below…

Opening at London’s Peacock Theatre from March 5-28, 2026, the productions promises a soul-stirring celebration of the icon’s life, music, and resilience. Reflecting on the role, Burke shared that:

“Almost seventeen years ago, with my late mother by my side, I sang Chaka for my very first non-televised audition for The X Factor. To think that all these years later I’ve been given the opportunity to play the superstar that is Chaka Khan in the West End would have been simply unimaginable for me back then. Thank you mama for all your love and guidance as I was growing up, you are in my thoughts every day and I’ll be lovingly looking up at you every single show. This truly is a dream role for me, my first originating, and I’m still pinching myself wondering if I’m dreaming!”
