Where to Sit
The Lyric is an old theatre with pillars on three of its four levels, so check the seat number as well as the row. The Dress Circle, rows E and F, gives a clear, central view with almost no stairs. In the Stalls, pillars stand in rows R and U. Seating for a one-night concert can differ from the resident show's, so check the plan for this date. Our Lyric Theatre guide has every level.
What It Is
A gala-style concert and fundraiser, with a cast of Asian West End performers. Proceeds support The Boury Academy.
Ben Armstrong founded RepresentAsian in 2021 to push for better access and opportunity for Asian performers. The evening is run in partnership with Dishoom.
Who It's For
- Musical theatre fans who like a concert with lots of voices rather than one.
- Anyone who has seen these performers in Jamie, Titanique, Phantom or Your Lie in April.
- Not for you if you want a full staged show with a story. This is a concert.
