After retiring from tennis in August after the Paris Olympics, Andy Murray on Monday announced that he will be touring the United Kingdom and reflecting about his tennis career in a one-of-a-kind stage show.
The interactive stage show which is called Andy Murray: Centre Stage will be touring the UK in the lead-up to Wimbledon 2025 with 4 shows lined up starting with a June 18 show in Glasgow, followed by another on June 19 in Edinburgh. The final two shows are scheduled in London on June 21 and 29 at the New Wimbledon Theatre, the night before the Wimbledon tennis championships.
“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,” Murray wrote on X.

“Hearing the roar of the crowd is a feeling like no other. I’m now moving on to a different type of stage.” the British tennis icon is heard saying in a voiceover in the video he shared with the aforementioned X post.
Murray retired as an underrated great forever in the shadow of the ‘Big Three’ of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. A distinguished career regardless — with two singles Olympic golds, three Grand Slam singles titles, and 46 weeks spent at World No. 1.
Ultimately, an Olympics farewell was fitting. It was in London 2012, reeling from a defeat in the Wimbledon final to Federer, that he beat the Swiss in the final on the same court to win gold, and took the next stage of his career. Over the next year, he won two Majors, including the Wimbledon title that the adoring British public were so desperate to see him win.
