Lily Allen possibly turning West End Girl into a West End play? MAKE IT SO.

The artist joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to unpack writing the most talked-about album of the year, in which Allen airs more than dirty laundry on her tempestuous open relationship with Stranger Things star David Harbour.

When Fallon mentions the album's runaway success has lead to the potential development of a play in London, Allen doesn't give much away but says, "That's true."

"Are you involved with that?" asks the host.

"I might be," says Allen. "The ink is not dry, but I'm definitely having some conversations with people, it's very exciting."

The idea of turning West End Girl track "Pussy Palace" into a stage number is all I need to get through the day, to be honest, but remembering the lyrics to "West End Girl" and a certain someone's reaction to Allen's previous West End success might get me through the whole year.
