Breaking Baz: Live Aid Musical Blows The Roof Off London’s Old Vic As Bob Geldof Actor Curses His Way To Stardom
Baz Bamigboye writes about how the Live Aid musical ‘Just For One Day’ blows the roof off London’s Old Vic as Bob Geldof actor curses his way to stardom.
“I thought that was a better way of doing it, also a more democratic way of doing it,” he told me when we chatted during a break from watching the show’s director, Luke Sheppard (& Juliet), making changes to the “melting pot of stories’” with his cast ahead of its official first night. Just for One Day boasts a terrific ensemble that incudes such solid West End names as Julie Atherton, Ashley Campbell, Jackie Clune, Olly Dobson, Craige Els, James Hameed, Joel Montague, Jack Shalloo, Danielle Steers and Rhys Wilkinson and some, though not all, who are new to me. They are Jason Battersby, Joe Edgar, Jo Foster, Collette Guitart, Naomi Katiyo, Hope Kenna, Freddie Love, Abiona Omonua, Emily Ooi and Tamara Tare, with all casting by Stuart Burt and choreography by Ebony Molina.
