About One Day: 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, 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 Earnest with Ncuti Gatwa, Life of Pi, Sheffield Crucible, West End and Broadway).

Emma walks into Dexter’s life on the night of their graduation. One unsuspecting day that changes them both forever. But where will they be on this day next year? And the year after that? And every year that follows? As Em and Dex’s lives intertwine through joy and heartbreak, missed opportunities and second chances, they navigate love, ambition, and the unpredictable twists of life.

About the transfer, James Brining Artistic Director and CEO of The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, states:

“We are delighted that after the hugely successful opening and run here at the Lyceum earlier this year, ONE DAY is going on to have a well-deserved West End run. The show has huge heart, with tremendous warmth and we're extremely proud of the contribution which our brilliant teams have made to the success of the show so far. We're excited to see how London audiences respond to what is a beautiful show and to have a little piece of our wonderful city of Edinburgh in the West End."

The news of a West End transfer follows the announcement that the new musical Wild Rose – a co-production between The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, Caledonia Productions and Gavin Kalin Productions, which premiered at Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in Spring 2025 - is remounting off-Broadway at the New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) as part of their 2026/2027 season.
