"A jewel box of a musical: small, delicate, brimming with
emotion and charm."--"Vogue"
"It may sound like heresy to fans of the 2006 film, but this
bewitching stage adaptation arguably improves on the movie,
expanding its emotional breadth and elevating it stylistically
while remaining true to the original's raw fragility."?"Hollywood
Reporter"
Retaining the film's popular music and lyrics, acclaimed Irish
playwright Enda Walsh adapts this charming tale of a complicated
romance between an Irish street musician and a young Czech
immigrant for the stage. A hit musical Off-Broadway, "Once"
premiered on Broadway in spring 2012 to rave reviews.
Enda Walsh is the author of five Edinburgh Festival Fringe First
Award-winning plays, including "Penelope," "The Walworth Farce,"
and "The New Electric Ballroom." He also co-wrote the film
"Hunger," which won the Camera d'Or award at the Cannes Film
Festival.
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are the stars and songwriters
of the 2006 film "Once," for which they won an Academy Award for
Best Song. The two comprise the musical folk-rock duo The Swell
Season, which is currently touring the United States. A documentary
film of the duo, "The Swell Season," was an official selection of
the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. Hansard is also a member of the
Irish band The Frames and Irglova is a classically trained Czech
pianist and vocalist.
