A CELEBRATION OF SOUND: JUST FOR ONE DAY The new Just for One Day musical commemorates how music united the world nearly 40 years ago in a unique event to raise awareness and funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London, the critically acclaimed musical features hit songs by some of the most iconic artists including Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Elton John and more.
