Once at Wolf Theatre

With a book by Enda Walsh and music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Once is based on the acclaimed motion picture written and directed by John Carney. Directed for the stage by Chris Coleman, the musical features a folk‑rock score performed live onstage by the cast.

Based on the critically acclaimed film and featuring a soaring folk‑rock score performed live on stage, Once is a breathtaking, Tony Award‑winning musical that reminds us that the right song—and the right person—can change everything. On the streets of Dublin, a heartbroken Irish songwriter meets a Czech pianist who won’t let him sell his guitar. By the end of one fateful week, their unexpected bond evolves into a powerful but complicated love story that speaks straight to the heart.

Once is a musical drama locally produced by Denver Center Theatre Company and presented by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The production runs April 2–May 2, 2027, at the Wolf Theatre in downtown’s Arts Complex.
