On the musical, Geldof said, "I wanted to keep it as true. I wanted to keep the objective in plain sight. And I wanted to let this younger generation understand the time and what people were thinking and saying."
The North American premiere of Just For One Day, a new musical about the making of the monumental Live Aid concert in 1985, will play a limited run January 26 to March 16, 2025, at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre – in Live Aid's 40th anniversary year.
