Set in a Dublin pub, a young Irish musician learns to trust his heart again as he is challenged and inspired by a young Czech immigrant. This musical, based on the 2007 film by John Carney, traces a magical week of unexpected friendship, musical collaboration and buoyant community through passionate music and dance.

A hit on Broadway and in London, ONCE offers a different kind of musical theatre experience, as the songs are inflected with Irish folk tradition and current pop emotion. In a world just coming out of a world-wide pandemic, ONCE reminds us of the value in time together, learning beyond ourselves through others, the cost and the rewards in taking passionate risks.

Runtime approximately 2hrs.
