Once - a New Musical Tickets

This production was amazing! We loved it! Performers were so talented. Music was unbelievable.

I thought the play was very good. The acting especially by the main lead actor "Guy" was terrific. The music, excellent. There were a few holes in the story that left me scratching my head.

All 4 of us wanted to leave at intermission. Worst play we've ever seen. The only good part was the music before the play started. Slow, boring, couldn't hear the dialogue or words in the songs & we were in row D. People were sleeping. Iit was like watching paint dry.

We didn't like the show. It was dull and slow . Expected more upbeat Irish music. Only heard that during the pre-show.

Our experience at the FOX THEATRE was delightful!! The performance of ONCE was rather "slow" but very enjoyable! We loved how the cast did an Open "warm-up" on stage, but then we weren't sure when the play was beginning. The most wonderful part of the play was the music performance! Well-blended voices and talented instrumentation gave us goosebumps! The storyline seemed to drag though. We left feeling there would have been more climax... maybe even more volume. Still, No Regrets.

My expectations were far greater than the show delivered. Storyline could have had more depth

I've seen several large production plays and didn't know what to expect from a smaller cast and set, but it was absolutely incredible! Way more intimate. Hoping it comes back around because I want to go see it again.

Rather uneventful or unremarkable play. Poor sound and poor accents (Irish) made it difficult to engage in the production. Not much of an introductory foundation the the story made me wonder what the hell was occurring, or what the characters were suppose to be feeling, etc. Music was so so... comic lines were few and far between and more difficult to grasp with the poor sound and poor accents. Unfortunately I would not recommend this play for the money I spent, nor would I recommend a play at the Fox. The Fischer Theater would be my 1st choice, not the Fox, although it is restored lovely!

We could not wait for intermission to leave. What a pointless, awful show. There were families with young children and the dialog featured a number of four letter words. The Irish music was forgettable. The Czech music worse. Maybe the 2nd half was better but I wasn't in the mood to find out. A waste of money in my opinion.

best play/musical i have seen in many many years this group of actors and actresses are so talented sing, act, dance, then play 4 different instruments each wow

We enjoyed every minute of this show. It was filled with energy, great acting and of course, some of the best music in theatre today.

"Once" is an absolutely wonderful show and should not be missed. The incredibly talented cast is amazing in their versatility as actors, singers, and musicians. The musical score is fabulous and this cast did an outstanding job from start to finish, showing great energy in portraying this great story. The problem is that "Once" is a very intimate show and should be performed in a smaller theatre. Detroit's Fox Theatre is a beautiful setting but has the intimacy of a sports arena hosting a tractor pull. The sound quality is mediocre at best in this cavernous venue, which unfortunately detracts from the overall enjoyment of the performance. Yet while the facility may not have provided the best setting for a show like this, the production itself was top-notch and still brought the audience to their feet. It really is an outstanding show.

This was my 3rd time seeing Once so it is a show I enjoy. The staging and choreography are always excellent. I will have to say that the leads are certainly talented but I have seen better. The rest of the cast is strong. I like that they made the banker character a female where the last 2 times, the banker was a male. I hope this means they are casting the best talent and not just finding someone to fit a mold. Bottom line is that Once was entertaining and a nice way to spend an evening out on the town.

Such a good show, love the music and the staging was lovely.

This entire production left me breathless... the set, the music, the acting, the everything about it. A beautiful story told in the here and now, it draws you in from the opening number and doesn't let go until days after it's ended. Absolutely fantastic, well done. Thank you.

My seat was at a very good location considering I was in Row V. However, I found it very hard to understand what the actors were saying. I think it was due to the accent they had used.

Story line was great! Music was even more great! Well rounded musical !

Once was amazing. The music was beautiful, and the acting was wonderful.

I loved the play and was amazed that the audience was allowed to go on stage before the performance and during intermission. The music and singing was pure Irish. The only problem I had was that sitting in the very last row in the Orchestra section, I sometimes was not able to understand what was being said because of the Irish brogue.

Took my mom with me who had literally no idea what the musical was about and absolutely loved it. So much energy from the cast and the songs and everything just felt right about it! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going!
