Lily Allen Confirms Talks to Turn 'West End Girl' Into a West End Play

Her track record on London stages makes a theatrical adaptation a credible next move.

Overview

  • On The Tonight Show, Allen said discussions are underway in London and that she “might” be involved, with no production details announced.
  • She told Jimmy Fallon the album was written and recorded in about ten days last year, underscoring its tightly focused, autobiographical narrative.
  • Allen’s theatre résumé includes an Olivier-nominated West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story and recent work such as Hedda Gabler.
  • A sold-out tour will present the album in full, opening March 2 in Glasgow before a nine-date North American leg from April 3 in Chicago to April 28 in San Francisco.
  • Her promotional push includes a Saturday Night Live musical-guest slot on December 13 and year-end recognition from Rolling Stone and NME.
