‘Once’ is Not Enough – The Indie Film Leaves Its Mark On Broadway
The tale of Guy meets Girl, Once is a love story whose simple conceit belies the emotional complexities it explores. The musical based off the 2006 indie film of the same name is currently one of the most successful shows on Broadway, having earned both critical and popular acclaim.

Once Plot
Once follows a nameless Irish musician as he composes and falls for a fellow singer/songwriter. The unnamed Girl initiates first contact at a Dublin bar, asking the Guy a series of personal questions about his music. Through the course of her interrogation we learn his songs are for and about an ex-girlfriend – through the course of the Guy and Girl’s own relationship, we’re shown the power of such connections, of the missed and redemptive opportunities they beget. To go into more detail would undercut the aching effects of a live viewing – suffice it to say, as with any good romance, music, heartbreak and hope ensue.
