"Once"

"Once": Broadway Musical Based on the Hit Indie Film

"Once" began as a music-fueled indie film that won hearts in 2006, taking home the Best Original Song Oscar for its haunting love ballad "Falling Slowly." Now, "Once" has taken the Broadway stage by storm, earning eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The romantic tale follows a downtrodden Dublin street musician and a delightfully quirky Czech woman who meet in the most unlikely of places -- a vacuum cleaner repair shop. Their complicated lives make the path to love a rocky one, and they channel their feelings into the music they produce together -- him on guitar, her on piano, two voices harmonizing and setting them free, for a time, from the harsh realities of their lives. An impressive ensemble of actor/musicians play their own instruments onstage in this breathtaking production that draws you in from the very first note and doesn't let go until the end.
