Former tennis champion Andy Murray, recently retired, is set to embark on a unique career shift that takes him from the court to the stage. The British tennis icon, known for his resilience on the ATP Tour, will delve into his life and career in a four-date theatre tour titled *Centre Stage*. Spanning across London and Scotland, this intimate experience offers fans a fresh perspective on the man behind the Grand Slam titles.
The tour, set to run in June 2025, will include stops in Glasgow, Murray’s birthplace, and culminate at the New Wimbledon Theatre just before the Wimbledon Championships. Hosted by BBC’s Andrew Cotter, who shares an excellent rapport with Murray, each night promises candid stories, previously untold anecdotes, and reflections on life both on and off the court.
For Murray, *Centre Stage* represents an unprecedented venture. “After I retired this summer, I wanted to try some different things,” Murray said. “I don’t think a tennis player has done anything like this before, so it felt like a great challenge for me.”
