Inspired by the life of Nina Simone, and featuring many of her most iconic songs performed live.
Apphia Campbell’s acclaimed play follows a successful singer and civil rights activist as she seeks redemption after the untimely death of her father. She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church, to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.
The show has toured the UK to standing ovations, played sell-out seasons in Shanghai, New York, Edinburgh and the West End of London and won the Best Theatre Award at Adelaide Fringe 2024.

Would recommend.Brill actor.
Very well produced, a broad strokes overview of the life of Nina Simone, well chosen songs.
Intimate authentic performance. Emotive experience. Wonderful vocals. Venue suited the story and that fact it was a one woman performance. Great experience.
Amazing prodution
Excellent performance ! Short but to the point.
Engaging and very entertaining performance.
Beautiful and emotive and powerful. Increadible voice.
Extraordinary performance. So much energy. Amazing acting and singing. Really gripping and moving. Unfortunately too short.
Captivating, intense and emotional are the first 3 words that come to mind, when asked to describe just how good this show was. The theatre and setting in the vaults was beautiful, and the performance from Apphia was world class. I won’t be forgetting this show anytime soon!
The lead was very good and the set was very atmospheric and there were a couple of powerful moments, i just feel that Nina Simone should actually have been singing during the singing moments as her voice is unique. Also it was only over an hour long £30 a ticket was very expensive
Excellent. What a talented artist
Amazing!! Great Actress, beautiful powerful voice. We were captivated. Loved the setting too.
