On February 1, 2026, the West End community will come together for a one-night-only concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in support of One For The Boys, a men's mental health charity working to break the cultural silence around male cancer.
Called Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer, the event comes just three days ahead of World Cancer Day on February 4. Led by musical director Alan Williams (Evita, Sunset Boulevard) and directed by Rupert Hands (Evita, Sunset Boulevard), the concert will be an all-star affair.
The evening will feature performances and exclusive collaborations from Olivier Award winners Giles Terera MBE (Hamilton), Tom Francis (Sunset Boulevard), and David Thaxton (Sunset Boulevard), as well as Diego Andrés Rodriguez (Evita), Bella Brown (Evita), James Olivas (Evita), Ramin Karimloo (Pirates! The Penzance Musical), Jordan Luke Gage (Titanique), Lucie Jones (13 Going on 30), Ben Joyce (Back to the Future), Melanie La Barrie (& Juliet), and Christina Bennington (Heathers).
The performers will be joined onstage by a live orchestra, with additional special guests to be announced. The evening will also include an exclusive preview of the new musical Redcliffe from Jordan Luke Gage.
The creative team will include lighting designer Peter Small and sound designer Sound Quiet Time (Rob Bettle and Sam Clarkson), with production management by Jack Boissieux.
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. 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.
One For The Boys is a men’s health charity tackling one of the biggest killers of men: silence. The organization works to encourage people to speak up at the earliest sign that something might be wrong, placing early detection, open communication, and emotional support at the heart of its mission. Founded in the UK, the charity has produced a number of high-profile awareness events, from the Fashion Ball at the V&A to the Masked Rave at Troxy, and most recently Love Life: Broadway Unites Against Cancer at Cipriani 42nd Street. Across all its work, the charity’s goal remains unwavering: to turn a frightening diagnosis into a hopeful journey, one conversation at a time.
