About One Day: The Musical

A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and Melting Pot production

World Premiere

Emma walks into Dexter's life on the night of their graduation. One unsuspecting day that changes them both forever. But where will they be on this day next year? And the year after that? And every year that follows?

As Em and Dex's lives intertwine through joy and heartbreak, missed opportunities and second chances, they navigate love, ambition, and the unpredictable twists of life.

The story which has touched millions as one of the most popular British novels this century is brought to the stage like never before in the life-affirming One Day: The Musical, capturing the intensity of youthful romance, the moments that define us forever, and the enduring hope that love will find its way.

Produced by arrangement with Universal Theatrical Group

Dexter will be played by Ewan Murphy on the 22nd of March.
