Event Navigation

Book by Enda Walsh, Music and Lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. Based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney.

Performed live and outdoors at Brucemore’s Peggy Boyle Whitworth Amphitheater.

From the very first note, Once draws you in and never lets go. This captivating musical is the only show to have music that won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.

On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music.

Featuring all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly,” this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. A show like that only comes around Once.

Content Note: This production contains some adult language, situations, and brief mention of self harm.

The TCR@ Brucemore Summer Series is sponsored by Transamerica and the Cedar Grove Signature Fund. Additional support by RBC Wealth Management.
