Andy Murray will be front and centre in a theatre show looking back on his illustrious tennis career in the lead-up to Wimbledon next summer.

The show, Centre Stage, is scheduled to run across four nights in June 2025. After starting in Glasgow, Murray will travel to Edinburgh and London’s Eventim Apollo before finishing at the New Wimbledon Theatre the night before next year’s Championships get underway.

Fans will be treated to new anecdotes and juicy details from Murray’s playing days, which saw him win three Grand Slam titles and reach the top of the world rankings in an era when Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer ran riot.

The BBC’s Andrew Cotter will be on stage interviewing Murray, who put down his racket for good after this summer’s Paris Olympics. “After I retired this summer, I wanted to try some different things,” said the Scot.

“I don’t think a tennis player has done anything like this before so it felt like a great challenge for me. I haven’t stepped on a tennis court for a long time, so hopefully my fans will enjoy seeing me in this new setting.”

He also posted the following message on X: “I am stepping onto a different stage this Summer. Come and see me on my first ever theatre tour, with Andrew Cotter, in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hammersmith and Wimbledon. Tickets on sale this Thursday on AndyMurray.com.”

Attendees will be asked to leave their mobile phones at the door while Murray provides a fresh insight into his nearly-two-decade-long career. The 37-year-old, who now lives in Surrey, battled rampant injury issues during his later years as a player.

Murray boasts eight Grand Slam finals and eight semi-finals on a glittering CV, but he failed to make it beyond the third round of a major across the last seven seasons of his career. Alongside fellow Team GB star Dan Evans, Murray bowed out at the Paris Olympics in August when they were defeated in the men’s doubles quarter-finals.

He has since insisted that retirement is treating him well. “Since I’ve stopped, I feel really free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

“I can dedicate time to my children and have free time to play golf or go to the gym on my own terms. It is really nice and I didn’t expect that. I was expecting to find retirement hard and be missing tennis a lot and wanting to get back on the tennis court on tour. So far it has been the complete opposite to what I was thinking.”
