Most jukebox musicals evoke a specific performer or group’s life and work, whether that be Tina Turner, Neil Diamond, Carole King or The Beach Boys. Just For One Day at the Old Vic does something else, rewinding the clock to recall a momentous event in music history.

The focus here is on LiveAid, the epic concert on behalf of famine relief in Ethiopia that rocked the world in 1985.

And if you can overlook an occasional clunkiness in the script, you’ll be swept up afresh in the passions of a bygone age – and the powerhouse music that now, as then, brings an audience roaring to its feet.
