The musical tells the story leading up to the 1985 Live Aid concerts, following Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, and those around them as they work to stage a global benefit for famine relief in Ethiopia.

It uses a modern-day viewpoint and flashbacks to connect today’s audience with the original Live Aid event, blending nostalgia, humour, and emotional moments about ordinary people trying to make a difference.

)

What songs are featured in the musical?

The show includes hits from artists who appeared at Live Aid, such as Queen, U2, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Madonna, The Who, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Diana Ross. These songs are rearranged and placed at key points in the story, so familiar tracks gain new meaning as they accompany the characters’ journeys.

How long does the performance last?

The performance runs for around two and a half hours including an interval, similar to other large touring musicals. This gives enough time to tell the full story behind Live Aid and feature many of the big songs audiences expect.

Is the show suitable for children and families?

The musical features loud rock-style music, concert lighting, crowd scenes, and themes such as famine, politics, and global charity, so it is generally recommended for teenagers and older children. Families who enjoy live music and true-story dramas usually find it powerful and inspiring, but very young children may find the volume and subject matter intense.

How can I get cheap tickets for Just For One Day in Plymouth?

To find cheaper tickets, start by looking at weekday performances and any matinees, as these are often less expensive than Friday and Saturday evenings. Signing up for Theatre Royal Plymouth newsletters and major theatre ticket sites can alert you to presales, early bird offers, and discount codes before the best-value seats are gone.

Are there rush tickets, day seats, or last-minute deals?

Many big venues offer rush tickets or day seats, where a limited number of same-day tickets are released at reduced prices via apps or the box office. For Plymouth dates, check closer to the time whether Theatre Royal Plymouth is running rush schemes or late discounts, and be ready to book early in the day or visit in person if they are.

Can I save money by choosing different seats?

Yes, seats higher up or further from the stage are usually cheaper while still giving good views of the action and strong sound for the big musical numbers. If your main aim is to enjoy the music and atmosphere rather than sit close to the front, these areas can offer excellent value.

Do group or family bookings offer discounts?

Group bookings often unlock lower prices per ticket when you buy a block of seats, which is ideal for schools, clubs, or large family outings. It is worth checking Theatre Royal Plymouth’s group booking information or contacting the box office to ask about minimum group sizes, eligible performances, and any extra benefits such as reserved seating areas.
