Nicole Scherzinger to return to the West End for one night only as part of charity concert

Exclusive: Nicole Scherzinger is scheduled to join the company of Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 1 February 2026.

The one-night event serves as a fundraiser for One For The Boys, a charity focused on male cancer awareness and early detection.

The concert takes place three days before World Cancer Day and features a programme of music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Lin Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken.

Alan Williams acts as musical director with Rupert Hands directing. The creative team includes lighting designer Peter Small, sound designers Rob Bettle and Sam Clarkson for Sound Quiet Time and production manager Jack Boissieux.

Scherzinger, who recently won Tony, WhatsOnStage and Olivier Awards for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, has a history of involvement with the charity. Her previous contributions include performances at the 2016 Fashion Ball at the V&A and the 2014 Abbey Road Karaoke event.

The lineup includes Giles Terera, Tom Francis, David Thaxton, Ramin Karimloo, Jordan Luke Gage, Lucie Jones, Ben Joyce, Melanie La Barrie and Christina Bennington. Performers from the recent production of Evita, including Diego Andres Rodriguez, Bella Brown and James Olivas, are also confirmed to appear.

A live orchestra will accompany the performers. The evening includes a preview of Redcliffe by Gage, with further cast members and performances still to be announced. This London event follows a similar production held in New York during the autumn.

Sofia Davis, founder and CEO 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 are on sale now, with access to an after-party with the cast available for VIP and premium ticket holders.
