Star studded charity concert LOVE LIFE LONDON to be held at Theatre Royal Drury Lane
This February, the West End theatre community will come together for Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer, a major one-night-only concert at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in support of One For The Boys, the men’s health charity working to break the silence around male cancer.
Taking place on 1 February 2026, just ahead of World Cancer Day on 4 February, this special event will unite performers, creatives, musicians and supporters for an evening of music, solidarity and storytelling.
The concert will be led by musical director Alan Williams and directed by Rupert Hands, bringing together a world-class creative team for the event. The creative team also includes lighting designer Peter Small, and sound designer Sound Quiet Time (Rob Bettle and Sam Clarkson).
The concert will feature performances and exclusive collaborations from West End theatre royalty, including Olivier Award winners; Giles Terera MBE (Passing Strange, The Young Vic; Hamilton, West End), Tom Francis (Sunset Boulevard, West End/Broadway; & Juliet, West End), and David Thaxton (Roam, West End; Sunset Boulevard, West End/Broadway).
Performing after their sell-out summer in Evita are Diego Andrés Rodriguez (Evita, West End; Sunset Boulevard, West End/Broadway), Bella Brown (Into The Woods, Bridge Theatre; Evita, West End), and James Olivas (Evita, West End; American Idiot, Los Angeles).
They are joined by West End stars Ramin Karimloo (Roam, West End; Pirates! The Penzance Musical, Todd Haimes Theatre NYC), Jordan Luke Gage (Titanique; Bonnie & Clyde, West End), Lucie Jones (Wicked, West End; 13 Going on 30, Manchester Opera House), Ben Joyce (Shucked, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre; Back to the Future, West End), and Melanie La Barrie (Hadestown, West End; & Juliet, West End/Broadway), and Christina Bennington (Heathers; Bat Out Of Hell, West End).
The star-studded cast will be joined onstage by a live orchestra as they perform a variety of exclusive collaborations and performances, including an exclusive preview of Redcliffe from Jordan Luke Gage, with further special performances to be announced.
Further names and special guests to be announced in the coming weeks.
Their involvement reflects the extraordinary commitment of the West End community to stand together in support of a charity whose work has resonated across the country and around the world. One For The Boys has a long history of drawing remarkable talent to its cause, with previous supporters including Sia, Nicole Scherzinger, Kylie Minogue, Adam Lambert, Paloma Faith and Mark Ronson, as well as global cultural figures such as Samuel L. Jackson, Stanley Tucci, Lewis Hamilton, Colin Firth and Margot Robbie.
This event follows the success of Love Life: Broadway Unites Against Cancer in New York this autumn, which saw the Broadway community rally behind One For The Boys’ mission.
When the concert concludes at Drury Lane, the celebration will continue with an exclusive After Party for VIP and premium ticket holders. Guests will be welcomed into a vibrant late-night setting featuring live DJ sets and appearances from performers, creating a rare opportunity for artists, supporters and industry colleagues to come together in a shared expression of solidarity, joy and purpose.
The night will raise vital funds and awareness for early detection, for open and honest conversations around health, and for the mental and emotional support needed by those living with or affected by cancer.
Founder & CEO of One For The Boys, Sofia Davis, said: “The silence around male cancer is costing lives. By uniting the West End for this special event, we hope to break down stigma, empower people to speak up early, and support those navigating the mental and emotional impact of cancer. The West End’s support means the world, and together we can help save lives.”
Tickets for Love Life go on sale on Friday (5 Dec) at 10am, with further info here.
