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.

New Revue: ‘From The Heart’

Don Black CBE returns to the West End to celebrate his lifelong love of cabaret. His brand new revue show will premiere at London’s Fortune Theatre on 26th October and 2nd November, 2025.

With music from some of his most celebrated collaborators including Gary Barlow, Natasha Bedingfield, David Arnold, Alan Menken, Mike Batt and many more, ‘From The Heart’ comes from Don’s deep love of cabaret and Broadway musicals.

‘From The Heart’ features Britain’s Got Talent 2024 winner Sydnie Christmas, alongside Preeya Kalidas and Clive Rowe. Two other star performers and a surprise guest star will bring this exciting show to life.

Directed by Nick Winston (Bonnie & Clyde, Calamity Jane), with musical direction and arrangements by Nick Barstow (Starter for Ten).

Don recalls, “When I spent time in New York, off-Broadway revues were the places to go. They used to sing original songs that would tear your heart out or make you laugh. Stars like Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, Shirley MacLaine and Doris Day started their careers off-Broadway.”

“A song can do more in three minutes than any other art form. ‘From the Heart’ they come, and to the Heart they stay.”
