Based on the novel of the same name, One Day follows Emma and Dexter on the same day every year. The pair meet on the night of their graduation and fall in love, a day that changes them both forever. As the years pass, Em and Dex’s lives intertwine through joy and heartbreak, missed opportunities and second chances, and they navigate love, ambition, and the unpredictable twists of life. One Day has sold over five million copies worldwide and inspired both film and television adaptations before being adapted for the stage.

This brand-new adaptation of the beloved story is written by the Lyceum’s former Artistic Director David Greig (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Touching The Void, The Lorax), with music and lyrics by Abner and Amanda Ramirez (of acclaimed US band Johnnyswim), with additional material by Jeremy Sams, and directed by Tony and Olivier award nominee Max Webster (Macbeth with David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, The Importance of Being Ernest with Ncuti Gatwa, Life of Pi, Sheffield Crucible, West End and Broadway). It had its world premiere at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh.

Jamie Muscato (Cabaret, Playhouse Theatre; The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum; Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Piccadilly Theatre) and Sharon Rose (Sylvia, Old Vic Theatre; Hamilton, Victoria Palace Theatre) will reprise their roles as Dex and Em. Full casting is due to be announced.

The creative team is completed by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, Choreographer; Nigel Lilley, Musical Supervisor, Musical Director and Co-Arranger; Rae Smith, Set and Costume Designer; Bruno Poet, Lighting Designer; Simon Baker, Sound Designer; Simon Hale, Orchestrator and Co-Arranger and Stuart Burt CDG – Casting Director.

One Day: The Musical will open at the Garrick Theatre on Tuesday 17 November, 2026.
