ABOUT THE SHOW
"ONCE ON THIS ISLAND" is one of the most beloved musicals in Broadway history.
Powered by a pulsating Calypso beat, this delightful musical fable tells the epic story of Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl who, guided by the mighty island gods, sets out on a remarkable journey to follow her heart and find her place in the world.
"ONCE ON THIS ISLAND" features a joyous, uplifting score by Tony Award-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (“Ragtime,” “Anastasia”).
“A bewitching celebration of love, resilience, and the spirit of hope.” - NY Daily News
