Alexandra Burke is Chaka Khan! Get ready for a powerful new musical experience as I’m Every Woman: The Musical makes its global premiere at London’s Peacock Theatre. This strictly limited run brings the extraordinary life and music of Chaka Khan to the stage and reveals the woman behind the diva for the very first time.
From the streets of Chicago to the world stage, I’m Every Woman: The Musical tells the untold story of Chaka Khan—ten-time Grammy winner, global superstar, and unapologetically fearless woman. The show dives deep into her remarkable journey, exploring her passion for social justice, her battles within a turbulent music industry, and her triumphs over personal challenges. With powerful storytelling and raw honesty, it reveals the woman behind the voice - resilient, driven, and endlessly inspiring.
Audiences will be taken on a musical journey through Chaka Khan’s greatest hits, both as a solo artist and with the band Rufus, including Ain’t Nobody, I Feel For You, Sweet Thing, and Tell Me Something Good. Along the way, the show shines a light on her relationships, struggles, and musical collaborations with legends like Prince, Joni Mitchell, and Stevie Wonder. Bold, brilliant, and deeply human, this is more than a musical - it’s a tribute to a true original.
Alexandra Burke is not scheduled to perform on the following days; Thursday 12 March, Wednesday 18 March (matinee & evening), and Wednesday 25 March (matinee & evening).

West End star and multi-platinum recording artist Alexandra Burke will take on the role of Chaka Khan in the world premiere of I’m Every Woman: The Chaka Khan Musical, coming to the Peacock Theatre in London for a strictly limited four-week season from 5 to 28 March 2026.
Alexandra said: “Almost 17 years ago, with my late mother by my side, I sang Chaka Khan for my very first non-televised audition for The X Factor. To think I’d be given the opportunity to play her in the West End is beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you, Mama, for your love and guidance – I’ll be looking up at you every show.”
