Rachel Joyce's bestseller about a retiree's road trip has been adapted into a musical, with Passenger providing the music and lyrics for Chichester Festival theatre's production. The show is set to transfer to the West End in January, featuring an album of renditions by Passenger, titled "One for the Road".
In a unique twist, some tracks from this album are not part of the show itself, while others feature guest appearances from performers such as Jack Wolfe, who originally played Balladeer. Fans can now stream these exclusive versions and explore more music inspired by Joyce's story.
This musical production brings to life an unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry in a fresh way, combining elements of folk, pop, and contemporary sounds that showcase Passenger's unique style. The album and the show offer fans new ways to experience this captivating tale, as well as showcasing Passenger's versatility as a musician.
The story itself revolves around Harold Fry, who embarks on an extraordinary journey from his quiet life to delivering a letter to an old flame, with its resulting adventures reflecting a mix of emotional depth and musical talent.

, but at the same time I have some doubts if it's gonna live up to the book, you know? 
The idea of Passenger providing the music is cool tho, their sound is really unique. But I mean, can they capture the essence of Rachel Joyce's story in a way that'll resonate with fans of the book? 
It's a big ask.
I don't know, maybe it's a good thing, who knows. What I do know is that I'll definitely give it a listen and see what I think.
Only time will tell, but for now, I'm just gonna keep an open mind and enjoy the music 
.
. I love how they're releasing an album with some exclusive tracks that aren't part of the show, it's like a special treat for fans 
. The fact that Jack Wolfe is featured on one of them makes me even more excited! 
Can't wait to see how the show comes together and how the music is woven into the story... sounds like it's gonna be a real treat 
. It's like he took the essence of Harold Fry's story and infused it with his own soulful vibes 
. And what I love about this production is how they're offering us fans more ways to connect with the story - those exclusive tracks on the album are giving me life 
! Can't wait for it to hit the West End in Jan 
. And can you believe they're going to have a special guest appearance from Jack Wolfe? That's like something out of a 90s boy band 
. Can't wait to check it out and see what all the fuss is about!
! But I gotta say, I don't know if Passenger is the right fit for the show... he's got that folk-pop vibe going on which I think would work well with the story, but I'm not sure how the album tracks will hold up as standalone songs 
!
I'm stoked to see a road trip story become a musical - it's gonna be a wild ride! 
Can't wait to hear those exclusive versions on the album "One for the Road" 
and now they're releasing an album of exclusive tracks with guest appearances lol what's not to love about that? fans get to stream these new versions and explore more music inspired by the story which is just amazing 
meanwhile, i'm all about those exclusive album tracks - can't wait to stream dem 
1.4M copies sold in the UK alone since its release! 
passenger's unique sound is perfect for this story... I mean, have u listened to "Let Her Go" on repeat since Jan is when it transfers to West End? 
OMG u guys! did u know that the show's album "One for the Road" has over 10M streams on Spotify in just one month? 
it's insane! also, passenger's music is literally taking the whole show to another level - like, their song 'let her go' is giving me all the feels every time i watch the trailer 
and have u seen the cast list? it's got some big names like jack wolfe and emma bobbett 
The fact that they're releasing an album of renditions and exclusive tracks is genius. It's like they want to give us even more reasons to fall in love with this story. I'm literally counting down the days until it transfers to the West End - January can't come soon enough! 
. It's amazing how music can transport us to another time and place, just like Passenger's album does. The fact that some tracks aren't part of the show itself is like having a special bonus gift – it's like they're saying "hey, we've got more to share with you" 
. So excited for the West End transfer tho! Can't wait to see how Passenger's unique style brings Harold Fry's story to life on stage 
. I guess if they can pull off making it work, it could be interesting, but for now, I'm not sold 
.
rachel joyce's story is just so beautiful and emotional, can't wait to see passenger bring their own vibe to it
