"Once" - a new musical!

,

Loved “Once”– a delightful, different, delivery of song and dance in a new musical on Broadway.  “Once” is a funny, romantic and heart-breaking story of an Irish musician and his muse, a Czech immigrant, drawn together by their shared love of music


Highlights for me were the musicians dancing with their instruments, actors changing the set in rhythm, the song “Falling Slowly” and going on stage before the curtain for a drink and being part of the pub while the actors, who are also the show’s musicians, playing Irish standards.

Once leads this year with 11 Tony Nominations including Best Musical, Best Director (John Tiffany), Best Lead Actor (Steve Kazee), Best Lead Actress (Cristin Milioti), Best Featured Actress (Elizabeth A. Davis), Best Book (Enda Walsh), Best Choreography (Steven Hoggett) and Best Orchestrations (Martin Lowe) as well as nominations for the show’s design elements.
