Full line-up confirmed for RepresentAsian fundraiser in the West End

RepresentAsian will return to the West End for a one-night concert at the Lyric Theatre on 9 November 2026 – and the complete line-up has been revealed.

Nadim Naaman and Roshani Abbey have joined the previously announced line-up, with Nina Wadia hosting. The concert will raise funds for scholarships for young Asian performers to train in the arts, in partnership with the Boury Academy. Following last year’s event, the first RepresentAsian Scholarship has now been awarded to a student, who will train at the academy.

The 2026 concert will also feature three emerging performers of Asian heritage: Charlie Moscrop, Sameer Dhanjee and Shivanee Subash, who are 2026 graduates of Guildford School of Acting and the Royal Academy of Music. They will perform on a West End stage for the first time. They join Soophia Foroughi, Hiba Elchikhe, Zheng Xi Yong and WhatsOnStage Award nominee Mia Kobayashi.

The concert follows last year’s West End event, staged in collaboration with Conrad Ricamora, and is the eighth iteration of RepresentAsian. The event aims to showcase established performers alongside emerging talent while raising funds to widen access to professional arts training.

Ben Armstrong and Aixa Amarante said: “Following an incredible debut in the West End last year, we are thrilled that Nimax have asked us back to the Lyric Theatre for our next instalment of RepresentAsian. This upcoming concert marks our eighth iteration of the show, and you can guarantee we will be showcasing more outstanding talent from the Asian diaspora, featuring West End leading players, and emerging talent. Never has the need for inclusive, diverse story-telling been more prevalent. So, get your tickets, and we’ll see you in November!”

RepresentAsian: An Evening of Asian Talent is produced by Aixa Amarante Productions and presented in partnership with Dishoom.

The creative team comprises founder and casting director Armstrong, graphic designer Tom Mann for Ghostlight Productions and head of brands and partnerships Alex Kais for House of Kais, with further creative team members to be announced. RepresentAsian: An Evening of Asian Talent will take place at the Lyric Theatre on 9 November 2026 at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced from £20.
