Once On This Island at Hayes Theatre Co Tickets
About Once On This Island
From the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical, Ragtime) comes the Olivier Award-winning Once on This Island. This vibrant adaptation infuses its Caribbean roots with Australia’s own rich cultural tapestry, injecting new life into the Hans Christian Anderson tale, The Little Mermaid.
Ti Moune, a humble peasant girl, courageously saves the life of Daniel, a wealthy boy from the far side of the island, and soon finds herself captivated by love. Little does she know, the island’s proud Gods wager on a timeless question: which is stronger, love or death? The unwitting pawn in their bet, Ti Moune’s life hangs in the balance as she follows her heart.
This energetic and radiant score is carried by a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and the transformative power of storytelling.
