The acclaimed new musical One Day – The Musical will transfer to the West End this autumn, following its world premiere at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh.
Performances begin at the Garrick Theatre on Tuesday 17 November 2026, with Jamie Muscato and Sharon Rose returning to play Dex and Em.
Based on David Nicholls’ global bestselling novel, the production follows Emma and Dexter, whose lives are forever changed after meeting on the night of their graduation.
Across the years, their story unfolds through moments of joy, heartbreak, missed chances and second opportunities, exploring love and the unpredictability of life.
The musical features a book by David Greig, music and lyrics by Abner and Amanda Ramirez of Johnnyswim, with additional material by Jeremy Sams, and direction by Max Webster.
Originally capturing the hearts of millions around the world, One Day – The Musical brings a fresh and emotionally rich interpretation to the stage, highlighting the enduring power of connection and timing.
Producers Simon Friend and Hanna Osmolska for Melting Pot 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 creative team also includes Carrie-Anne Ingrouille as choreographer, Rae Smith as set and costume designer, Bruno Poet as lighting designer, and Simon Baker as sound designer.
Nigel Lilley serves as musical supervisor, musical director and co-arranger, with orchestrations by Simon Hale and casting by Stuart Burt CDG.
