One Day musical – first look photos

Take a look at the world premiere run of One Day: The Musical!

Co-produced by the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh and Melting Pot, the new stage adaptation is based on David Nicholls’ 2009 novel.

The show is set on St Swithin’s Day across multiple years as a couple grow from students into adults. It was adapted into a solidly received film in 2011, followed by a much-loved 2024 Netflix series.

Joining them are Josefina Gabrielle as Alison Mayhew, Miracle Chance as Tilly, Kelly Hampson as Sylvie and David Birrell as Stephen, alongside Matthew McKenna as Mr Godalming, Dan Buckley as Ian, with Peter Hannah as Callum. The cast is completed by Tanisha Butterfield, Ewan Murphy and Kirsty Anne Shaw.
