Lily Allen Confirms Talks to Adapt 'West End Girl' for the West End

Her on-air confirmation underscores how the album’s momentum is fueling plans for a stage life.

Overview

  • Allen told The Tonight Show she is “definitely having some conversations” about a stage adaptation and said she “might be” involved, noting the deal is not finalized.
  • No creative team, cast, venue, or timeline has been announced, and media reports characterize the project as in development rather than confirmed.
  • Her 2026 North American run performing the album in full has expanded with second nights in several cities and begins April 3 in Chicago, with New York dates at Radio City Music Hall on April 14 and Kings Theatre on April 15.
  • Allen said the newly added North American dates sold out, and she will perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Dec. 13.
  • Released in October, West End Girl reached No. 2 in the UK and earned year-end list placements, with coverage noting its autofictional portrayal of a relationship’s breakdown.
