Who's One Day The Musical For?
One Day The Musical is for anyone who loved the book, the film or the Netflix series and wants to see Em and Dex on stage. It's a romance told across twenty years, checking in on the two of them on the same date each year, which makes it a good choice for a night out for two.
It's also one for fans of the two leads: Jamie Muscato was in Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby, and Sharon Rose was Eliza in Hamilton. And if you'd rather see a new musical than a jukebox show, every song in it was written for the stage.
It's not for you if you're after a light, happy night out. One Day is a weepie.
What Tickets Cost
Tickets start from around £35 and go up to around £185, all-in, and the day you pick makes the biggest difference:
- Tuesday and Wednesday: from around £35 up to around £130
- Thursday, Friday and Sunday: from around £40 up to around £165
- Saturday: from around £40 up to around £185
Every performance from 20 December to 2 January is priced like a Saturday, and so is Valentine's weekend, 12 to 14 February.
In the opening week, Thursday 19 November has the cheapest seats. The other nights that week start from around £60, and Saturday 21 November from around £80.
The top prices are for the best seats in the Stalls and the Dress Circle. If you're booking for a group, call us and we'll find seats together.
About One Day The Musical at the Garrick Theatre
David Greig wrote the book, and the music and lyrics are by Abner and Amanda Ramirez, the American duo who record as Johnnyswim. Jeremy Sams wrote additional material. Max Webster, who directed Life of Pi, directs. It runs about 2 hours 40 minutes, including one interval, and it's for ages 12 and up.
What's One Day The Musical About?
Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew meet on the night of their graduation in Edinburgh, on 15 July 1988. The story then comes back to them on that same date every year for the next twenty years, so each time you see them, a year has passed.

Best Seats for One Day The Musical
The front three rows of the Dress Circle give the best view of the whole stage. For something closer, go for the middle of the Stalls from about row D. The clear-view side blocks at the back of the Stalls usually cost less.
The only seats to think twice about are the handful behind the slim pillars in the Stalls, and they're marked as restricted when you book.
Every level is covered in our Garrick Theatre guide, or call us on 020 7193 9050 and we'll pick the best seats left on your date.

Tickets and Best Seats for One Day The Musical
Tickets run from around £35 up to around £185, all-in. Saturdays, the Christmas fortnight and Valentine's weekend cost the most, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays the least.
It's a small theatre, so nobody is far from the stage.
- Stalls: book the middle from about row D. The back rows have clear-view side blocks that usually cost less. Skip the few seats behind the slim pillars.
- Dress Circle: the front three rows, A to C, are the best view in the theatre, and it's the level you can reach without stairs.
- Grand Circle: the highest and usually the cheapest level. It's small, so it still feels close, but the legroom is tight.
Row-by-row detail for each level is in our Garrick Theatre guide. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we'll find the best seats left for your budget.
