Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical,\u00a0Once\u00a0features a book by Enda Walsh and music and lyrics by Glen Hansard & Mark\u00e9ta Irglov\u00e1, based on the Academy Award\u2013winning film written and directed by John Carney. The production is directed and choreographed by Chance Literary Manager\u00a0James Michael McHale, with music direction by Chance Resident Artist\u00a0Lex Leigh.<\/p>\n

This intimate, actor-musician musical tells the story of a Dublin street musician and a Czech immigrant whose chance encounter sparks a week-long collaboration full of music, longing, and unexpected connection. As two people navigating heartbreak, loss, and being a little bit stuck, they discover how music can create community, offer healing, and open the door to something more. Performed live by the ensemble, the score is raw, evocative, and deeply heartfelt.<\/p>\n

The cast features\u00a0Morgan Hollingsworth\u00a0(Chance Debut) as Guy and\u00a0Emma Laird\u00a0(Gloria) as Girl, alongside a multitalented ensemble playing an eclectic group of characters who surround and shape their journey.<\/p>\n
