Big new musical Just For One Day has teased its return to the stage.
On social media today, the official accounts for Just For One Day have posted a teaser announcing that news about the show is coming tomorrow, 16 September 2024.
The show first premiered at The Old Vic theatre in London earlier this year, and celebrates the phenomenon of Live Aid – the charity concerts that took place in July 1985 to raise money to combat the famine in Ethiopia.
Back in March 2024 the show teased that it may be transferring to the West End, although no further information was released in terms of venue or dates.
The show sold out at The Old Vic in London, and is transferring to Toronto in January 2025.
Sir Bob Geldof, the mastermind behind Live Aid, was heavily involved in The Old Vic production, directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, Starlight Express). 10% of the box office profits from the show went to the Band Aid Charitable Trust.
Sir Bob Geldof is scheduled to appear on Chris Evans’ breakfast show on Virgin Radio tomorrow, 16 September, along with the former star of The Old Vic production of Just For One Day, Craige Els. Craige played Sir Bob in the musical.
Jamie Wilson Productions, one of the West End’s biggest producers including current hit Mrs Doubtfire The Musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre, has also teased the show through its own marketing channels, saying “We are ready to roll”.
