"The musical version of Once features music and lyrics by Irish singer-songwriter and musician, Glen Hansard, and Czech-Icelandic singer-songwriter, musician and actress, Marketa Irglova, with a book by Enda Walsh. Hansard and Irglova appeared as the leads, Guy and Girl, in the 2007 film. The story follows an Irish busker and a Czech immigrant who meet and connect instantly through their shared love of music."
"To put the audience right in Dublin, the Julia Morgan Theater will feature pub style seating closest to the stage. Audience members can opt for these seats specially priced and limited availability and feel like they have a front row view at an Irish pub. The production will also bring the instruments from the orchestra pit right onto the stage, with the cast doing double duty as musicians."
