New West End Musical Revives Asmahan's Story on London Stage
Set in 1940s Cairo, 'Asmahan' aims to introduce the legendary singer's untold story to international audiences. Jun 02, 2025 A new musical celebrating the life of Arab music icon Asmahan is set to premiere in London's West End. The production, titled 'Asmahan', will be staged at the Peacock Theatre on June 16th and the 17th, 2025, and aims to introduce the legendary singer's untold story to international audiences. Set in 1940s Cairo, the musical is structured in two acts: the first unfolds during a backstage interview at the Opera House, while the second recreates a live concert. The show explores the personal and professional complexities of Asmahan's life, tracing her rise to stardom and the cultural significance she held in the Arab world. Themes of identity, fame, and artistry are central to the narrative, as the production seeks to capture the spirit of a figure who challenged expectations during a transformative period in Arab music history. The cast includes Syrian-Armenian soprano Lena Chamamyan in the titular role, with Egyptian jazz vocalist Ahmed Harfoush portraying her brother, the celebrated composer Farid Al Atrash. Live renditions of Asmahan's songs form the heart of the performance, accompanied by choreography and projections that evoke the atmosphere of mid-century Cairo. Produced by AM Management and Productions and Beyond, the musical combines Arabic musical heritage with Western theatrical sensibilities to create a cross-cultural experience that reflects Asmahan's own multifaceted identity. Tickets for the musical start at GBP 28, with both performances scheduled for 8:00 PM.

Comedian Nate Bargatze to host 2025 Emmy Awards
Stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze will host the 77th Emmy Awards, CBS has announced. One of the most popular stand-ups currently working, Bargatze will host the September 14 ceremony at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While the Oscars have found success with Conan O'Brien, set to return in 2026, and the Golden Globes with returning host Nikki Glaser, the Emmys have had a harder time finding a regular host. The last four Emmys have been hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy, Anthony Anderson, Kenan Thompson and Cedric the Entertainer. 'Nate is one of the hottest comics in the business with a remarkable and hilarious brand of comedy that deeply resonates with multi-generational audiences around the globe,' said Cris Abrego, chairman of the Television Academy. Bargatze, while yet to emcee a major awards show, is among the most sought-after entertainers, releasing three Netflix specials including December's Your Friend, Nate Bargatze and hosting Saturday Night Live. With more than 1.2 million tickets sold in 2024, according to Pollstar, he was the top-earning comedian of the year. 'It's a huge honour to be asked to host such an iconic awards show and I'm beyond excited to work with CBS to create a night that can be enjoyed by families around the world,' Bargatze said. Last year's Emmys, hosted by the father-son Levy duo, reached 6.87 million average viewers, according to Nielsen, up 54% from the previous year.
