Spring 2013 Production

Once on This Island

WHAT:
A highly original and theatrical adaptation of the popular fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” Once on This Island tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred, and death. With its Caribbean-flavored music—catchy, contemporary, tender ballads and rousing celebratory numbers—and with the same artistic team that brought you last year’s stunning production of Working, Once on This Island promises to be a visual and auditory feast of almost non-stop song and dance. Once on This Island is appropriate for all ages and runs under 90 minutes, with no intermission.
