A couple weeks ago I was on a trip to the UK and on my last night I had the honor of seeing Just for One Day: The Live Aid Musical with my dad at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Even though I bought the tickets last minute, I'm honestly shocked that nobody is talking about it enough especially for of all things a jukebox musical. Needless to say I loved it. and it's the kind of show that should definitely be on Broadway because its message is one the world needs to hear now more than ever. I posted a whole review of it on my TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@malcs_creative/video/7566715077437476126?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7558981711092188686

UPDATE: JUST FOR ONE DAY – THE LIVE AID MUSICAL To Launch UK And Ireland Tour In 2027. 

I hope the producers (including Sonia Friedman & Kevin McCollum) also consider taking this show to Broadway because it deserves to be seen

We’ve been in the midst of jukebox musical fatigue for a while, but also it didn’t exactly get much acclaim in London because the book surrounding the songs was essentially panned by the critics. 

There are far more superior jukebox musicals I would love to see cross the Atlantic, particularly STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE (though that may have the “too British” concern that Mincemeat grappled with)
