StoryBook Theatre: Once On This Island the musical
DATE :
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Once on This Island, a Caribbean reimagining of The Little Mermaid, brought to life by the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Based on the novel My Love, My Love by Rosa Guy, this Olivier Award-winning musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of the island. But their love is tested by the gods who rule the island, wagering on whether love or death is stronger.
As Ti Moune pursues her love, she faces societal barriers and ultimate sacrifice. Her enduring spirit, however, transforms her into a symbol of unity, as the gods turn her into a tree that breaks the walls dividing their societies. With its vibrant score and compelling story, Once on This Island garnered eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical, Book, and Score. Don’t miss this captivating and deeply moving theatrical experience!
