ONCE began performances Tuesday, November 15 and opened Tuesday, December 6, running through Sunday, January 15, 2012 at New York Theatre Workshop.
ONCE features the Academy Award-winning music and lyrics of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, a book by award-winning Irish playwright & screenwriter, Enda Walsh (Penelope, Hunger, The New Electric Ballroom), direction by the acclaimed Scottish director of Black Watch, John Tiffany, movement by Steven Hoggett (Black Watch, American Idiot) and musical direction by Martin Lowe (Mamma Mia!).

On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician (Guy) and a Czech immigrant (Girl) 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 the emotionally charged music that has made ONCE an international sensation.
The 2007 Academy Award-winning film, ONCE, was written and directed by John Carney, and starred Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, with original music and lyrics by Mr. Hansard and Ms. Irglová.
The Oscar winning independent Irish film, Once (written and directed by John Carney) was made for $150,000. Shot in 17 days, it went on to gross $20M worldwide becoming a critically acclaimed international smash. It stars Glen Hansard, from the popular Irish Rock band The Frames, and Markéta Irglová. Glen and Markéta won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Original song for “Falling Slowly,” the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Music, and the soundtrack was nominated for two Grammy Awards.

I absolutely loved the movie and want to see the play soo bad. The original cast recording is out now, and I guess that will have to do for now! I love this interview with Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova. http://bit.ly/INiUSS
ReplyDeleteLove the music from "Once"! Such a great film. Hope I get the chance to catch it on Broadway. I found a really cool interview with Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (stars/writers of the music for the movie). http://release.sonymusic.com/media/release/53514c3e50b9b7dbbac3?catalog=catalog_68
