One Day: The Musical to transfer to the West End this November

The acclaimed new musical adapted from the era-defining novel by David Nicholls will receive a West End transfer following a sell-out world premiere in Edinburgh earlier this year. One Day: The Musical will begin performances at the Garrick Theatre on 17 November, taking over the critically acclaimed production of The Producers.

Jamie Muscato, who is currently starring in the West End production of Cabaret, and Sharon Rose (Sylvia, Old Vic) will reprise their celebrated roles as Dex and Em in the musical.

This brand-new adaptation of the beloved story is written by the Lyceum’s former Artistic Director David Greig (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory), 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). 

One of the most treasured romances of the 21st century, One Day sold millions globally as well as inspired both film and television adaptations. The story follows Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, who revisit their lives on the same date—15 July—every year for two decades. The fresh and emotionally new musical captures the intensity of youthful romance, the moments that define us forever, and the enduring hope that love will find its way.

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.

Full casting to be announced.

One Day: The Musical will start performances at the Garrick Theatre on 17 November, 2026. Further information on the show can be found via www.onedaymusical.com.
