Lyric Hammersmith
King Street London
Having premiered on Broadway as part of the Manhattan Theatre Club's 2023–2024 season, this hilarious and thought provoking new comedy quickly became one of the most talked about shows of the season. The run was extended twice during its limited season and a series of its final performances were live streamed due to demand before a US tour commenced at the end of 2024. Jaja's African Hair Braiding won two Tony Awards and was nominated for six and received eight nominations that year across the Drama Desk Awards, Drama League Awards and Outer Critics Circle Awards. This new production of the hit play will mark its UK premiere.

**** 'It would be hard to not fall for the charm of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding. A celebration of femalehood, Black culture and community, it’s filled with a vibrant joy and celebration in part thanks to a cast who share a wonderful chemistry. As client Jennifer says, it’s like being at home for the day watching their 12-hour day unfold.'
