'Erase una Isla (Once on this Island)' está basada en la novela 'My Love, My Love' de Rosa Guy, y fue llevada a los escenarios de Broadway en 1990; desde entonces ha tenido exitosas producciones alrededor del mundo, su última producción fue el revival de Broadway en 2017 con un cast estelar que incluía a Lea Salonga, y actualmente se encuentra en National Tour por EEUU.

Visually stunning. Inventively staged. Compellingly acted. Beautifully told. Utterly delightful. Heartrendingly poignant. What more can be said about Once On This Island, the Lynn Ahrens-Stephen Flaherty musical which launched its national tour in Nashville last night with a remarkable opening performance before a capacity crowd in Andrew Jackson Hall? The critical raves, audience adulation and awards for the recent Broadway revival of the Caribbean-influenced musical were enough to attract ticket-buyers, to be certain, but the sheer artistry of the production and its amazingly talented cast will be more than enough to propel the company forward on their cross-country tour where, we suspect, the accolades will continue to be bestowed upon the heartfelt and authentic story.
