New musical Ayla is set to get a concert version this month at Sadler’s Wells in London.
The concert will star Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen, Two Strangers) as Mohr, Sha Dessi (Tarantino Live, Les Misérables) as Ayla, and acclaimed singer songwriter Arlissa as Sindha. The concert also features dancers Jemima Brown and Ru Fisher.
Ayla in Concert promises to showcase breathtaking music and dance, directed and choreographed by Eleesha Drennan.
Ayla features music written and arranged by Gianluca Cucchiara, with lyrics by Andrew James Whelan, and tells the story of a young woman who questions her own traditions and the powers that be, willing to sacrifice everything she holds dear to fight for a better future for her people and the planet.
Ayla in Concert plays at Sadler’s Wells’ Lilian Baylis Studio on Saturday 21 October at 3.30pm and 7pm.
Sam Tutty will appear in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) at the Kiln Theatre from 9 November 2023 – book tickets now.
