RepresentAsian will return to the West End for a one-night concert at the Lyric Theatre on 9 November 2026.

The fundraising concert, titled RepresentAsian: An Evening of Asian Talent, will feature performances from Christine Allado, Hiba Elchikhe, Mia Kobayashi and Zheng Xi Yong, with Nina Wadia hosting. Further casting is to be announced.

The event is produced by Aixa Amarante Productions and will raise funds for a scholarship with The Boury Academy. The concert aims to support opportunities for Asian performers and those entering the industry.

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 storytelling been more prevalent. So, get your tickets, and we’ll see you in November!”

The creative team includes Ben Armstrong as founder and casting director, Amy Hsu as musical director, arranger and orchestrator, Tom Mann for Ghostlight Productions as designer, and Alex Kais for House of Kais as head of brands and partnerships.

Tickets start at £25 and go on sale at 12pm today.
