Once – Town Players of New Canaan

Connecticut Public will once again partner with the Town Players of New Canaan to host a pre-play reception for the first 50 people to register for the June 12 performance beginning at 5:30 pm. 2012 Tony Award Winner for BEST MUSICAL – Total of 8 Tony awards of 11 Tony nominations.

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, guitar, drums, accordion and mandolin. The actor-musicians also effortlessly become characters in the story. And you’ll fall in love with the Oscar winning music.

Prior to the start of the show, the audience will be treated to a pub-like setting to entice the audience to join in the experience.

With hauntingly memorable music, convincing romantic chemistry, and dozens of laugh-out-loud moments, ONCE truly is a delight. Produced by: Carin Zakes
