Queen Idia the Musical is an ambitious new work telling the story of the 16th-century Queen Mother of the Benin Kingdom, a powerful and influential figure in Nigerian history.

Blending Afrobeats, movement and spoken word, this bold new musical is being developed as a large-scale production with international ambitions. This special work-in-progress concert sharing offers a rare opportunity to experience the next stage of its development, following sold-out sharing’s in Cambridge, Peterborough, and London’s West-End, in 2025.

Join us for an engaging, high-energy performance and be part of the journey as we shape a new musical for global stages.
