The anticipated Broadway revival of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s Tony Award-nominated musical Once on This Island will sweep into Broadway’s Circle in the Square November 9 under the direction of Tony Award nominee Michael Arden.
This fresh take on the production is driven by an all-new soundscape that incorporates non-traditional instruments, found objects, and vocal arrangements to transform Ahrens and Flaherty’s score.
