West End stars will gather at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 1 February 2026 for Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer, a one-night concert in support of men’s health charity One For The Boys.

The event takes place shortly before World Cancer Day and aims to bring performers, creatives, musicians and audiences together to raise funds and awareness for early detection and open conversations around health.

Alan Williams will serve as musical director, with Rupert Hands directing. The creative team includes lighting design by Peter Small, sound design by Sound Quiet Time’s Rob Bettle and Sam Clarkson, and production management by Jack Boissieux.

The line-up includes Ramin Karimloo, Jordan Luke Gage, Lucie Jones, Ben Joyce, Melanie La Barrie, Christina Bennington, Giles Terera, Tom Francis and David Thaxton. Diego Andres Rodriguez, Bella Brown and James Olivas will appear following their recent run in Evita.

A live orchestra will accompany the performers, with further names to be announced. The evening will also feature a preview of new musical Redcliffe from Jordan Luke Gage, with that show due to debut at Southwark Playhouse next year.

The concert follows Love Life: Broadway Unites Against Cancer in New York earlier this year, which brought together performers and supporters from across the Broadway community. One For The Boys has previously attracted support from artists and public figures including Sia, Nicole Scherzinger, Adam Lambert, Paloma Faith, Mark Ronson, Samuel L Jackson and Margot Robbie.

After the performance, VIP and premium ticket holders will have access to an after-party with DJ sets and appearances from members of the company.

Founder and CEO 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.”
