When strangers meet, music reveals what words never could.
Once is an intimate, Tony Award–winning musical about a Dublin street musician and a young immigrant who form a deep connection through music. Featuring the haunting, folk-inspired score by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová—the Academy Award–winning composers of the original film—the show captures love, loss, and hope with raw honesty. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Once is an unforgettable, deeply human theatrical experience.
Reviews
“The show wins its standing ovations the old-fashioned way: with a love story, great songs, compelling characters and inventive stagecraft.”
– New York Post
“Once is a small-scale but warmly affecting show, crafted with profound respect for the power of music.”
– The Hollywood Reporter
