Winner of eight Tony Awards, Once the musical is adapted from the Oscar-winning movie about a heartbroken Irish guitarist who has given up on love and music until an immigrant girl inspires him to keep going. Their shared love of music draws the two together and the unexpected friendship quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story. The musical, by Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, and Enda Walsh, features an ensemble of actors and musicians who play their own instruments on stage. The performance will be presented In the Round, bringing the audience closer than ever to the stage.
