Following a sell-out run last year, multi-award-winning lyricist Don Black will bring From The Heart back to the West End for its most ambitious incarnation yet.
The production will play a strictly limited season at the Garrick Theatre from 8 to 18 October 2026, following its acclaimed performances in 2025.
Returning to the show are Olivier Award winner Clive Rowe and internationally celebrated stage and screen star Caroline O’Connor, both reprising their roles from the previous run.
Joining them for the new production is Olivier Award nominee Michael Xavier, with further casting set to be announced.
Directed by Nick Winston, the production features musical direction by Joe Church and arrangements by Nick Barstow.
Created by one of the world’s most celebrated lyricists, From The Heart is Don Black’s personal tribute to the New York cabaret scene that has inspired his career.
The evening begins with a selection of new songs featuring music written with composers including Gary Barlow, Natasha Bedingfield, David Arnold, Debbie Wiseman and Mike Batt.
A surprise special guest will appear at every performance before the show culminates in a medley of some of Black’s best-known songs, including Born Free, Ben, Love Changes Everything, With One Look, To Sir With Love and As If We Never Said Goodbye.
Black’s career spans more than five decades across film, television and musical theatre. His credits include Aspects of Love, Tell Me on a Sunday, The Italian Job and five James Bond theme songs, while he was awarded a Tony Award last year for Sunset Boulevard.
Don Black comments, “I’ve been working on this show for as long as I can remember which proves that some dreams can take a long time to come true.”
