Come DREAM with us!
ONCE IS THE STORY OF A GUY WHO GAVE UP ON LOVE AND MUSIC, AND THE GIRL WHO INSPIRED HIM TO DREAM AGAIN
From the very first note, Once draws you in and never lets go. This emotionally captivating musical is the only show to have music that won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award, and a Tony Award.
On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music.
Featuring all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning "Falling Slowly," this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. A show like this only comes around Once.
This music will move you and the audience!
Experience a show where the music tells the story, along with the actors, so powerfully.
ONCE is a love song dedicated to an audience who has no choice but to be moved!
