More Stars Join To Maury, With Love

11-02-26

Sydnie Christmas and Madalena Alberto will complete the line-up for To Maury, With Love, a glittering celebration of the works of Maury Yeston, marking his 80th birthday at the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday February 22, 2026.

They join an already stellar roster: Ramin Karimloo, Graham Bickley, Rob Houchen and Kelly Mathieson. If you love a soaring Yeston melody, this is the concert of the year.

Christmas, the first female vocalist to win Britain’s Got Talent, captured millions with her Golden Buzzer performance of “Tomorrow” from Annie. Since then, she has taken on Cruella de Vil in Disney’s 101 Dalmatians: The Musical and starred in Don Black’s From the Heart in the West End. Alberto, beloved for Eva Perón in Evita and Fantine in Les Misérables, also has a personal Yeston connection, having played Alice Beane in Titanic on tour in mainland China.

The concert, directed by Thom Southerland and produced by Danielle Tarento, will celebrate Yeston’s extraordinary catalogue. Expect music from Titanic the Musical, Nine, Grand Hotel, Death Takes a Holiday and Phantom, including rarely heard material and an overture written especially for the occasion.

Yeston is a double Tony Award winner, recognised for Titanic and Nine, and his music has travelled far beyond Broadway. The 2009 film adaptation of Nine, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Dame Judi Dench, introduced his work to an even wider audience. His Phantom, first seen in 1991, has enjoyed more than 1,000 productions worldwide.

Backed by a 30-piece London Musical Theatre Orchestra and a 30-strong choir of graduating MA Musical Theatre students from the Royal Academy of Music, conducted by Mark Aspinall, this promises scale, spectacle and heart. Proceeds will support Bowel Cancer UK.

Tickets start from £25, with booking fees applying. For one night only, Drury Lane becomes a love letter to one of Broadway’s most lyrical storytellers.
