BWW Review: ONCE Was Enough at PPAC
by Andria Tieman
- Dec 5, 2016
ONCE, the award-winning stage musical based on the award-winning film of the same name, is an obvious addition to Broadway. Featuring songs written by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who also starred in the film, this production seems like it can't miss. Unfortunately, despite excellent music and vocal and musical performances from an obviously talented cast, this production's book, by Irish playwright Enda Walsh, seems to assume that the only people who would be interested in this show are those who have seen the movie. Therefore, there is next-to-no character development, and random scenes inserted that make no sense to anyone not intimately familiar with the source material. Since this is a show about music and musicians, one would think that story goes out the window then in favor of reworking this as almost a musical revue, rather than a traditional narrative. That would have worked, since the story is a sweetly simple one and doesn't require much, but the choice was made instead to shoehorn in extra scenes of dialogue, most of which take far longer and meader far more than necessary to advance the plot, and wind up creating something that is just dull and lazy.
