RepresentAsian: An Evening of Asian Talent

RepresentAsian: An Evening of Asian Talent is a gala-style concert and fundraiser focused on musical theatre, staged at the Lyric Theatre in London, with proceeds going to a training academy for young Asian performers.

RepresentAsian was founded by Ben Armstrong in 2021 and presents a gala-style concert of Asian artists working in theatre. Its aim is to widen access, inclusivity and opportunity across the performing arts, and the evening spotlights talent across the field.

The evening also works as a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting The Boury Academy, which helps young Asian performers pursue professional training.

The live programme features the Asian artists taking part, presented as a musicals evening at the Lyric Theatre, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The night is aimed at audiences interested in musical theatre and in backing training for young performers. It is also presented as a way to contribute to longer-term change in the sector.
