BWW Review: ONCE Enchants New Haven
by Lindsey Sullivan
- Jan 29, 2016
Guy meets girl. They make some music. And they either end up together or apart, delighting or devastating their respective audiences. It's just as typical a story as the romance of the Broadway musical (and usually has a similar effect). Well, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's Once is hailed for dashing the typical boy meets girl tale, and its North American tour installment does not seem to do typical either. Magic was made at New Haven's Shubert Theatre last night as the cast of Once took their first bow of the weekend (and received the first of what are likely to become many standing ovations).
BWW Recap: Guess Sean's an X-Box and Gus is more Atari on SHAMELESS

Listen, I know it wasn't the “nicest” tribute, but I, for one, really enjoyed that song. And anytime, they want to have Tony and Grammy Award winning, Steve Kazee sing, even if it is to disparage a Gallagher, I am on board with that plan. (No offense, Fiona.)

Look, I'm not going to lie to you, I adore this show and it's hard for me to be a critic about it. So forgive my gushing as I love everything Gallagher and will most likely over praise them an exorbitant amount. I'd like to apologize for it, but I won't.

BWW Reviews: ONCE Is Not Your Typical Broadway Musical, Using Music Organically to 'Speak and Sing of What It Is to Be Human'
by Jill Schafer
- Jun 24, 2015
There's no big opening number, no splashy dance with dozens of chorus girls and boys, no pit orchestra, no large moving set pieces, no colorful glamorous costumes. ONCE is not your typical musical. In fact, according to The Cherry and Spoon Music-Theater Spectrum it's not a musical at all, but rather a play with music. Yet this atypical not-really-a-musical musical won eight Tony Awards in 2012. Why is that? Why was this quiet and quirky musical based on a little Irish movie awarded Broadway's biggest prize? Perhaps because it is different from other musicals. Perhaps the voters awarded the creative and organic way music is used to tell this beautifully simple and non-traditional love story. ONCE is a new kind of music-theater, and proves that musicals don't always have to be big and loud to have a profound effect on the audience. ONCE is quietly, beautifully stirring.
