Just For One Day, the Live Aid musical that recently concluded its production in London at the Old Vic, will head to Toronto next! According to Baz Bamigboye of Deadline, the musical, directed by Luke Shepard, will transfer to Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre next January for a limited run.

Bamigboye reports that the production may also have its sights set on Broadway after a potential regional theater run following Toronto. The musical may also head back to London in summer 2025.

The book, by John O'Farrell, is also said to be undergoing some tweaks.
