Nicole Scherzinger Joins West End Stars for Love Life: Unites Against Cancer at Drury Lane

09-01-26

The West End is set to unite for an extraordinary night of music and solidarity as Nicole Scherzinger joins the already glittering line-up for Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer, a one-night-only charity concert in aid of One For The Boys. The landmark event takes place at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday 1 February 2026, just days ahead of World Cancer Day.

Nicole’s addition elevates what was already shaping up to be one of the most significant West End charity events in recent years. Fresh from her era-defining turn as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, a performance that earned her both Tony and Olivier Awards, Scherzinger brings not only star power but a long and meaningful connection to the cause. She is a long-standing supporter of One For The Boys, having performed at the charity’s Fashion Ball at the V&A and taken part in earlier awareness-raising events including Abbey Road Karaoke.

Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer will see the theatre community come together in a shared show of support for men’s health, raising vital funds while breaking the silence around male cancer. Audiences can expect an emotionally charged evening of music, storytelling and collaboration, with songs drawn from the canon of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Alan Menken and more.

 

The concert is led by musical director Alan Williams, whose West End credits include Evita, Sunset Boulevard and Funny Girl, and directed by Rupert Hands, known for his work on Evita and Roam. Together they helm a world-class creative team, with lighting design by Peter Small, sound design by Sound Quiet Time and production management by Jack Boissieux.

Joining Scherzinger on stage is a formidable line-up of West End favourites and Olivier Award winners. Performers confirmed include Giles Terera, Tom Francis and David Thaxton, alongside recent Evita standouts Diego Andrés Rodriguez, Bella Brown and James Olivas. They are joined by an all-star roster including Ramin Karimloo, Jordan Luke Gage, Lucie Jones, Ben Joyce, Melanie La Barrie and Christina Bennington, with further names still to be announced.

The evening will feature a live orchestra and exclusive performances, including special previews created uniquely for this event. Following the concert, VIP and premium ticket holders will also be invited to an exclusive after-party, extending the sense of community and celebration long into the night.

Founded by Sofia Davis, One For The Boys exists to tackle one of the biggest threats to men’s health: silence. By encouraging early detection, open conversation and emotional support, the charity has built a powerful international movement, supported by artists and cultural figures from across music, film and theatre. Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer stands as both a celebration of the West End’s talent and a reminder of the life-saving power of coming together, raising voices, and starting conversations that matte
