Powerhouse Theatre Performing Arts Center

<p>2012 Tony Award Winner for BEST MUSICAL - Total of 8 Tony awards of 11 Tony nominations.</p>
<p>The touching, lyrical musical tells the story of two down-on-their-luck musicians, an angst-ridden Dublin street singer/songwriter who works as a vacuum repairman, and a Czech immigrant who sells flowers in order to support herself and her family. Songs erupt naturally from the action, helped by the fact that the cast all play a variety of instruments including fiddle, violin, guitar, cello, cajon, percussion, accordion, Irish flute, autoharp, melodica, piano, bass, ukulele, and mandolin. The actor-musicians also effortlessly become characters in the story. And you'll fall in love with the Oscar winning music.</p>
<p>With hauntingly memorable music, convincing romantic chemistry, and dozens of laugh-out-loud moments, ONCE truly is a delight.</p>
<p><b>Plan to arrive early! An hour prior to the start of each performance, patrons will be treated to pre-show music in an Irish pub-like setting</b>, sponsored by O'Neill's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Norwalk and Diageo Beer Company. Additional production sponsors : Bradsell Contracting, Bankwell, New Canaan Music, and the Performing Arts Conservatory of New Canaan.</p>
