Lily Allen Confirms Talks to Adapt 'West End Girl' for the West End as Tour Adds Dates

Her Tonight Show remarks confirmed formal talks with no casting or timeline set.

Overview

  • Allen told The Tonight Show she is “definitely having conversations” about a West End stage adaptation of West End Girl and said she “might be” involved.
  • Outlets report no creative team, production timeline or casting decisions have been announced, and it remains unclear whether Allen would perform in the stage version.
  • General ticket sales for her 2026 tour began Dec. 12 after additional second nights were added in Chicago, Toronto, Boston and New York, with shows presenting the album in full.
  • Allen said on the program that the tour was sold out that day, underscoring strong demand following presales and expanded dates.
  • Released Oct. 24 via BMG, the album was written and recorded in roughly 10 days, and Allen’s prior West End roles — including an Olivier-nominated turn in 2:22 A Ghost Story — add weight to the adaptation talks.
