The hit world premiere production of the new musical based on David Nicholls’ best-selling book One Day will transfer to London’s West End in November.
After a successful debut run earlier this year at Edinburgh’s Royal Lyceum Theatre, the production will begin performances at the Garrick Theatre on 17 November.
Presented by Melting Pot, the London run will star the original leads Olivier Award-nominee Jamie Muscato (The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum, Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, Donmar Warehouse) and Sharon Rose (Hamilton, Victoria Palace Theatre, Caroline Or, Change, Hampstead Theatre) as Dex and Em.
Announcing the London transfer, Melting Pot’s Simon Friend and Hanna Osmolska said: “From the moment we encountered One Day, we recognised its extraordinary emotional power. This is a story for anyone who has been in love, for anyone whose life hasn’t gone to plan, for anyone whose life has, for anyone who has had a parent, or a child, or a friend – so everyone really – which is why is has resonated with millions of people around the world.
“With a remarkable creative team, a score that takes us on the emotional rollercoaster of Emma and Dexter’s journey, and the world-class talents of Jamie Muscato and Sharon Rose originating the lead roles, One Day The Musical promises to be a very special show indeed. We cannot wait to bring this story to life on the West End stage.”
The latest incarnation of Nicholls’ much-loved work has been adapted for the stage by the Lyceum’s former artistic director David Greig with music and lyrics by Abner and Amanda Ramirez (from acclaimed American folk/rock band Johnnyswim) and additional material by Freya Catrin Smith.
Directed by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Max Webster, One Day has choreography by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, set and costume design by Rae Smith, lighting design by Bruno Poet, sound design by Simon Baker, music supervision and arrangements by Nigel Lilley, orchestrations by Simon Hale, casting by Stuart Burt and orchestra management by Andy Barnwell and Rich Weeden for BW Musicians Ltd.
