Review: LOVE LIFE: WEST END UNITES AGAINST CANCER, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Abbie Grundy - Feb 3, 2026

On 1 February, some of the West End's most esteemed stars gathered for Love Life: West End Unites Against Cancer - a concert performance raising money for One for the Boys. The charity aims to raise awareness surrounding male cancers, encouraging men to speak up when they notice a change in their bodies, or to ask for help when they need it. The hope is that together, we can break down stigmas surrounding masculinity, health and vulnerability - and save lives while doing so.
