Since Tina’s death in 2023, the show has been dedicated to her memory.
“The decision to close our West End production has been extremely difficult,” stage entertainment producer Tali Pelman said in a statement released on Tuesday.
“Celebrating and sharing Tina’s legacy has meant so much to all of us who have been working on this show over the last decade.
“We are proud to have fulfilled Tina’s dream for the musical, which was to serve not only as a reminder of her work but as the beating heart of her empowering message – courage, indomitable spirit, and an eternal optimism in what is possible.”

Thanking all who’ve worked on the production over the years, Tali ended by celebrating: “We are delighted that the show is selling out on tour across the UK and Ireland and continues to elate audiences in productions across North America, Europe and around the world.”
