Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, "ONCE uses song & dance in a way I've never experienced in an American musical" (New York Times). Based on the Academy Award-winning film, ONCE tells of a Dublin street musician and a young woman and how their unlikely connection turns out to be more complex than the average romance. From the impressive ensemble of actor/musicians who play their own instruments onstage to a set structured to feel like an Irish pub, there is real power in seeing the songs and story unfold live in front of your eyes. "Once is unusually fun and heartfelt musical theatre. The cast is on fire!" (New Yorker)
