Following a sell-out run, Oscar winning lyricist Don Black returns to the West End with the most ambitious incarnation of From The Heart yet - a celebration of new songs and much-loved favourites. Refined and expanded following its acclaimed concert performances in 2025, the production plays a strictly limited run of 15 performances at London's Garrick Theatre this October.
Starring Olivier Award winner Clive Rowe (Hadestown, Guys and Dolls), internationally celebrated star Caroline O’Connor (Chicago, Mack and Mabel), and West End and Broadway star and two time Olivier Award nominee Michael D. Xavier (Sunset Boulevard, Into The Woods). Further cast to be announced.
From The Heart is Don Black’s personal tribute to the New York cabaret scene that has inspired his remarkable career, and features brand new songs written with composers such as Gary Barlow, Natasha Bedingfield, David Arnold, Debbie Wiseman and Mike Batt.
At every show a surprise special guest will take to the stage before the evening culminates in a spectacular medley of some of Don Black’s most iconic songs, including classics Born Free, Ben, Love Changes Everything, With One Look, To Sir With Love, and As If We Never Said Goodbye, as well as a special salute to his long history with James Bond, from Diamonds are Forever, Thunderball, The Man With The Golden Gun, to The World is Not Enough.
With an extraordinary career spanning more than five decades, Don Black has produced some of the world’s best-loved songs for film, TV and theatre, from Aspects of Love and The Italian Job, to five James Bond themes. From The Heart brings together the songs, stories and collaborations that have defined his lyrical life in his most complete theatrical celebration to date.
