A new musical based on the 2006 film of the same name. “Once” is set on the streets of Dublin and is about a street musician and a Czech immigrant. During an eventful week the two meet, begin writing songs together, and then rehearse and record their songs to take to London in hopes of landing a music contract. Through the music they write, the duo work through their past loves, and are confronted with their new feelings for each other.
