Guy meets Girl in this tender love story about a struggling Irish musician on the verge of giving up, and a Czech piano player who reminds him how to dream. Featuring an outstanding ensemble of performers playing their instruments live on stage, Once reminds us of the power of music to connect us all.

“Alec Steedman’s virtuosic violin abilities demonstrate the polished nature of the entire show.”
