Once

Once

March 7th – 27th, 2027

On the streets of Dublin, an Irish street musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by a chance encounter and a powerful chemistry in their music. Over the course of one fateful week, they find an unexpected friendship and begin an artistic collaboration which will change their lives… and which quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story.

Based on the Academy Award-winning film, Once tells the story of two wandering souls drawn together by music, connection, and the possibility of something more. Featuring iconic songs by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová such as “Falling Slowly” and “Gold,” the musical has become a modern classic celebrated for its emotional honesty, intimacy, and aching beauty.


We’re particularly excited to share this story with an intimate, immersive new production unlike anything lovers of this show have experienced before. Inspired by Ireland’s “trad sessions”, our production will see audiences sitting at the tables of an Irish pub, surrounded by musicians who wander into the warm and cozy bar to bring the evening to life with their music. Our take on Once promises an unusually close encounter between you, our performers, and the music we share – the kind of experience you can only have at the theatre.
