Posted on
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.”
Featuring hits including *I’m Every Woman*, *Ain’t Nobody* and *I Feel For You*, the production celebrates the life and legacy of one of music’s greatest voices.
**Burke** first rose to prominence when she won *The X Factor* in 2008. Since then, she has established herself as a leading name in musical theatre, with acclaimed performances in *The Bodyguard*, *Sister Act* and *Chicago*.
