Once On This Island at Woodstock Arts

It’s a fable as old as time – Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, Daniel, and promptly falls in love. As in such stories, the gods and goddesses who preside over the island meddle with Ti Moune and make a bet with one another over which is stronger – love or death. She bargains with the Gods for his life, but to do so she must make the ultimate sacrifice. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, this Tony Award–winning musical is a testament that a beautiful story simply told has the power to inspire all.
