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 evolve into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music. Building on the original movie's beloved soundtrack — and including the Oscar-winning, Top 40 hit, "Falling Slowly" — Once is a beautiful, moving, and hopeful tribute to the music in all of us. Featuring an impressive ensemble of musician/actors who play their own instruments onstage, Once tells the enchanting tale of a Dublin street musician who's about to give up on his dream when a beautiful young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs. As the chemistry between them grows, his music soars to powerful new heights... but their unlikely connection turns out to be deeper and more complex than your everyday romance.

Emotionally captivating and theatrically breathtaking, Once draws you in from the very first note and never lets go. It's an unforgettable story about going for your dreams and the power of music to connect us all. Love, music, Dublin—what more could you possibly need? Once, propelled by the emotionally-driven music of Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, is a powerful and complex love story between two musicians who meet on the streets of Ireland's capital. Let yourself be transported to a place where friendship turns to love, and music is the connective force between us all.
