More about 50 First Dates: The Musical

Tickets & Booking info

Book your tickets now for the London premiere of 50 First Dates: The Musical, and don’t miss the chance to relive the love story that proves true love is worth the wait — every single day.

50 First Dates: The Musical ran at The Other Palace Theatre in London in autumn 2025. There’s no current news about a London or West End transfer for the show, but check back for details or sign-up for alerts.

In the sun-soaked paradise of Oahu, Hawaii, marine veterinarian Henry Roth has always been a love-them-and-leave-them kind of guy — until he meets Lucy Whitmore, a charming and quirky art teacher with a smile that turns his world upside down.

But there’s a heartbreaking twist: due to a car accident, Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss, causing her to forget everything that happened the previous day when she wakes up each morning. To Lucy, every day is October 13th, and Henry is a stranger she has never met.

Determined to win her heart despite the odds, Henry embarks on a series of wild, creative, and heartfelt attempts to make Lucy fall for him over and over again. From serenades at the local diner to outrageous beach dates, each day is a new chance to connect with her, even as her memory resets overnight.

But as Henry becomes more deeply entwined in Lucy’s life, he must face the reality of what it truly means to love someone who may never remember him — and decide whether he can keep going when every day is a blank slate.

Set against a vibrant Hawaiian backdrop and infused with catchy songs, dazzling choreography, and a touching message about love and perseverance, 50 First Dates The Musical is a heartwarming adaptation that reminds us that every day is a chance to start again.
