Don Black the legend Having loved his lyrics forever and seen him in conversation, I had to see his revue Don Black From the Heart. Highlights, Anton du Beke as surprise guest and then the man himself appearing at the end. Perfect!!

Superb show - not to be missed Superb show - not to be missed - I booked tickets not really knowing what sort of show it would be (i knew it would be musical) - loved all the songs by Don Black but it wasnt what I expected - was a history of his live through song - with the most amazing singers from tv and theatre - all amazing

Touching, humorous celebration The review of the life and career is told incidentally to new lyrics by Don Black in the style of an off Broadway show. There is a surprise guest and also Don appears at the end. The show ends with a medley of his hits. Very good singing and performance from the cast.
