The special concert is set to fundraise for a scholarship for The Boury Academy.
Founder and Casting Director of RepresentAsian Ben Armstrong and Producer Aixa Amarante Naranjo have announced that they are bringing RepresentAsian to the West End for a special concert taking place at Lyric Theatre on the 28th April.
As well as helping to fundraise for The Boury Academy for a scholarship, this special concert aims to provide access and opportunity, promote diversity and inclusivity, and to highlight the very best Asian artists.
The concert will feature a star-studded cast including Joanna Ampil, Desmonda
Cathabel, Lucca Chadwick-Patel and Joe Thompson-Oubari, with Sejal Keshwala, Aaron Teoh, Parisa Shahmir and Soophia Foroughi. It will be hosted by Eastenders icon and star of “Now That’s What I Call A Musical” Nina Wadia, and featuring Eunice De Castro, Reuben Khan, and Rayhan Lee, who will be making their West End debut.
Armstrong says “Representation matters a great deal to me, as a mixed race Sri Lankan individual, and I want to give back to the Asian community. Providing access and opportunities to young people is how to widen the talent pool, strengthen representation and hopefully inspire others to commit to inclusivity and
diversity in the arts. I can’t wait to share this show with a West End audience.”
The creative team includes Ben Armstrong (Founder and Casting Director), Natalie Pound as Musical Director, Arranger and Orchestrator, with designs by Ghostlight Productions, with further creative team members to be confirmed.
