Fall in love with the uplifting folk-musical Once — playing now at KCRep!
Featuring gorgeous songs like the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly,” the transformative power of love and music in Once will uplift you to a world where every note tells a story, and every song becomes a journey of the heart.
Based on the wildly popular and moving film, the 2012 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, Once tells the story of two souls brought together by the magic of music in the heart of Dublin. This deeply felt musical unfolds a tale of chance encounters, unspoken emotions, and the transformative power of dreams. As the characters navigate the delicate balance between love and the pursuit of artistic aspirations, the audience is swept away on a poignant and unforgettable musical voyage.
Kansas City Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Stuart Carden stated, “Once, for me is the best musical created in the last two decades. With an intimate and lush Irish-inflected indie-folk score, performed live by ten actor-musicians, Once is a deeply moving and funny exploration of grief, love and finding yourself again. The story of Guy and Girl, gorgeously explores how, no matter how stuck you might feel, meeting the right person at the right time can reawaken the possibilities and beauty of life.” He continued, “With music direction by Dan Weschler, one of the composers of Broadway’s Water for Elephants,” this gorgeous music will leave you breathless.”
Once runs September 3 through the 22nd at KCRep’s Spencer Theatre on the UMKC Campus. Tickets are available now and start at just $35!
