Broadway Revival Opening Night December 3, 2017 at the Circle In The Square Theater.

“…a joyful hymn to community and resilience that renders even the tragedy of death as a stirring transformation that gives back to the living.”

-Hollywood Reporter

“Just what the weary world needs now – an uplifting revival of Lynn Ahrens’ and Stephen Flaherty’s lush and lovely 1990 musical fable about the enduring force of true love.”

-Variety

“The closing number of “ONCE ON THIS ISLAND,” the justly loved one-act musical by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens now in a Broadway revival … ends with a number called “We Tell the Story.” It’s a song filled with reasons as to why every community must pass on tall tales, in some form or another, to its young: life, pain, love, grief, hope, faith, the protection of those in need. But its final and most important reason is simple. It’s just “you.”

-Chicago Tribune

“A joyful noise thunders through Circle in the Square theater, as Broadway welcomes a smashing revival of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND.”

-DEADLINE
