The year is 1985. The world is in crisis, but for one day, music unites us all.

Most of the cast is still under wraps for the 2025 West End transfer, but the original run at the Old Vic featured a stellar lineup. Returning to the stage is Craige Els (Matilda the Musical, Mamma Mia) who perfectly captures Bob Geldof’s eccentric spirit. Stay tuned for more casting announcements, but we’re sure it’ll be an all-star ensemble ready to bring the house down.
The Just For One Day musical is directed by Olivier Award-winning Luke Sheppard, the artistic mastermind behind & Juliet and the reimagined production of Starlight Express.

The musical also boasts a powerhouse creative team, including choreography by Ebony Molina (Bugsy Malone, Wonka) and musical supervision by Matthew Bird (The Little Big Things).
