Once final days in Dublin

Unbelievable the talent again


USPA NEWS - Final days to see smash-hit show Once
at home in Dublin

The record-breaking stage show Once, described as a love song to Dublin, has been wowing audiences from all over the world all summer long. Now entering its final days at the Olympia Theatre in the heart of Dublin city, the show must end on Saturday August 26.
Set in Dublin, and based on the movie sensation of the same name, Once is a funny, moving and life-affirming love story featuring music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, and a Tony award-winning book by Enda Walsh. Together with its captivating music, great humour and touching storyline, Once also has something truly unique to offer with Dublin´s only on-stage bar. Before the show, patrons can enjoy a lively music session with the cast of Once while enjoying a drink on the stage of one of Dublin´s most beautiful and historic theatres, making it one of the reasons why Once stands out as one of the best shows you´re ever likely to see.

This is also the first ever all-Irish cast in any production, worldwide, of Once. Over the last five years, Once has played on Broadway and across America, in London, Seoul, Melbourne and Toronto but for the first time ever, this quintessential Dublin story now has an all- Irish cast.

The stunning music is performed by an extraordinary cast of actor-musicians, who sing, dance and play their hearts out live on stage. Between them, the 12 actors play 30 instruments during each performance, giving Once the feel of a play and a music gig
