The life and songs of 10-time Grammy Award-winner Chaka Khan are being developed into a major new West End show, I’m Every Woman - The Chaka Khan Musical, it has been announced.
The project is fully endorsed by Chaka Khan, who will attend a London workshop in November this year.
Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy that includes 22 albums, 25 Billboard magazine charted songs, 7 gold singles, and 10 gold and platinum albums.
I’m Every Woman depicts Chaka’s life from her time in the Black Panther party to lead singer of the band Rufus, and onto the 10-time Grammy award-winning solo artist, who has tallied up over 100 million albums sold and downloads worldwide with hits such as ‘I Feel For You’, ‘Ain’t Nobody’, ‘This Is My Night’, ‘Through The Fire’ and ‘Eye to Eye’.
I’m Every Woman is written by screenwriter Tina Andrews, with direction by Racky Plews, and musical direction by Ian Oakley.
Chaka Khan said: “London has a very special place in my heart, and I’m honoured that my life and music will be celebrated on a West End stage. Working with such a talented team, producer Adrian Grant, writer Tina Andrews and director Racky Plews, on my life story is a dream come true.”
I’m Every Woman will play a pre-West End engagement in Autumn 2024, with further casting and additional creative team members to be announced.
