Once

Rubicon Theatre
1006 East Main Street Ventura

Tap your feet, raise your mug and fling the foam! Set in the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of a week, an unexpected friendship quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, the show features all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly.” This achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all.

"...Ironically, the real-life love affair between collaborators Glen Hansard, an Irish singer-songwriter, and Markéta Irglová, a Czech songwriter, fizzled after John Carney’s 2007 film became a success (well, it’s not called Once for nothing). But the Tony-triumphant 2011 stage musical, now offered in Rubicon Theatre‘s enchanting and bittersweet yet uplifting production, opens its heart to the point that you feel like you’re falling (slowly) in love with a best friend."

"...Veteran Southland director Michael Michetti masterfully leverages a superb cast and the intimacy and immediacy of live theater to heighten the impact of this deceptively simple love story about a Guy and a Girl — loners so seemingly inconsequential that we never even learn their names."
