Wikipedia article




"'One Day More'" ("", 'Tomorrow', in the original French version) is a song from the 1980 musical 'Les Misrables'. The music was written by Claude-Michel Schnberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, with an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer.

'Les Misrables' was originally released as a French-language concept album, as French songwriter Alain Boublil had had the idea to adapt Victor Hugo's novel into a musical while at a performance of the musical 'Oliver!' in London.

The show and the song has been translated into 21 languages, including Japanese, Hebrew, Icelandic, Norwegian, Czech, Polish, Spanish, and Estonian, and there have been 31 cast recordings featuring the song. The London cast version is Triple Platinum in the UK, for sales of more than 900,000, and Platinum in the U.S., for sales of more than one million. The Broadway cast version is Quadruple Platinum in the U.S. (more than four million sold), where four other versions have also gone Gold.

In popular culture





In 2012, musical theater performer and composer Michael Bihovsky composed a parody of this song about gluten-free and hypoallergenic food called "One Grain More".

"One Day More" was parodied by the Marsh Family, a British family, in a video that went viral and was covered by NPR. The parody describes the social and economic implications on normal life due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, "One Day More" was parodied as "One Last Puff" in the YouTube fan-film The Magic Railroad Parody, sung by several of the parody film's cast.

"One Day More" was also parodied by James Corden and an ensemble of Broadway cast members on January 19, 2021, the last day of the presidency of Donald Trump and day before the inauguration of Joe Biden. The parody's lyrics frequently reference both the COVID pandemic and the events during and after supporters of Trump stormed of the United States Capitol.
