Once

Overview You only fall like this once. Eight Tony Awards. Every note played live, in the intimacy of QPAC’s Cremorne Theatre. Based on the much-loved film and winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Once is the only show whose music has won an Academy Award, a Grammy, an Olivier and a Tony. It features the songs from the film, written by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová , including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly”, with every note played live on stage by a cast of 12 actor-musicians. On the bustling streets of Dublin, an Irish busker ready to give up on music meets a young Czech mother who plays piano and has no patience for wasted talent. Over one fateful week, their songwriting sparks an unlikely friendship, and then a tender, complicated romance that neither of them saw coming – told through songs that say what they can’t. Once is a celebration of love, friendship and connection through music, that will resonate with audiences long after the final note. Don’t miss the
