Once (Chicago) Tickets

The show was not only incredible music and performance wise but it was inventive with it's set, transitions, use of characters on stage, props. I don't even have the words to describe how incredible the whole show was. At first I was nervous seeing that the actors sat on stage the whole show but that ended up being the nest part because they were the pit! all music was played by the performers on stage. Basically Once shows a whole new kind of musical theatre performance that is both inventive and entertaining.

There's a reason Once won 8 Tony awards. It's absolutely amazing! One of the best shows I've ever seen!

My husband and I both loved the show. Once is one of our favorite movies of all time, and we were not disappointed!! Great musical and great date night!

Sorry, somewhat of a disappointment for me. Someone else reviewed that scene changes were awesome. I would say they were "clever". But expected big scenes, etc. It is basically one scene with table and chair changes. Could definitely leave out the "f" word, but I guess society loves it since there was laughter every time the word was said. Musically it was somewhat monotonous. Talent wise vocals were excellent and musicians were great.

The cast was extremely talented. They played various instruments, as well as singing, dancing, and acting.

This show was wonderful. We were in the Orchestra level (ground) Row T on the aisle and we were able to see everything. Once's stage scenery reminds me of Chicago's thriving storefront theater, put on a grand stage. The cast were great and the show was spectacular. My girlfriend and I are huge folksy music fans, but the overall music would capture many people who just enjoy great entertainment. Only downfall was with the venue. The bathroom and concession lines during intermission and before the show began were ridiculous. We were only aware of a set of bathrooms downstairs, which no way accommodated everyone during that short period. There were also only 2 persons serving at the concession stands (and only accepts cash).

Fabulous musical! Stuart Ward has a fabulous voice, and the whole cast was outstanding.

I saw both the Broadway and this production. Who could tell the difference. The cast was excellent, and their own influence on the roles were exhibited. Great way to see the show while on tour with a great cast!

"Once" is a delightful, poignant, foot stomping musical that takes you through a spectrum of emotions. The musicians are so talented, the humor is sweet, and the words make you thoughtful. I would see this performance again in a heartbeat!

we sat in the balcony, about half way up, hard to hear, not loud enough. The performers were excellent, musicians outstanding. Both the plot and some of the music was just too slow, it dragged. not upbeat enough just too slow thru much of the play. The writing and directing just needs some uumpf!!

When you enter the theater, you see that the stage is set as an Irish pub. You can go on the stage and order a drink and listen to the musicians playing. These musicians are also the actors and when the show is about to start, people return to their seats and the lead actor comes out to join the group, and the story begins. It's a wonderful story and the music is great! A little different than the movie, but definitely better.

Very difficult to hear the dialogue... Music was very good but the conversations were hard to follow...

This was by far one of the best Musicals I have ever seen!! I loved the music! Love the cast!! It completely exceeded my expectations! I have wanted to see it every night since I have watched it!! I wouldn't definitely go back and see it again and I can't wait for it to return back to Chicago!!

Show was fantastic. Wish it had a longer run in Chicago because I want to see it again!

Seeing ONCE only once was not enough. What a great show, seamless & spellbinding in it's production, music and cast. One of the best shows my wife and I have experienced. Very cool to have the audience come on stage prior to and at intermission to be up on stage and take part in a cool beverage. This show has the potential to have a longer run in Chicago...cannot wait for it's return!

We didn't know much about "Once", but were looking for something a little different for a special evening. Wow, were we ever impressed! Would recommend in a heartbeat

"Once" was a moving experience. A musical about following your dreams with simple songs. The musicians are part of the cast and onstage through most of the production. Much takes place in an Irish Pub that allows audience participation by selling drinks at intermission. Audience members can also meet the cast pre-show on stage "in the pub". Is a beautiful show worthy of the Tony Awards it won,

We loved the production of Once we saw in Chicago at the Oriental. The voices and instruments were superb. It was fun to go on stage before and at intermission--some soft drinks besides water would have been nice. The seamless transportation from flat to flat, from shop to music studio to restaurant and club were made part of the story with the underscored movement of furniture and props. It flowed so beautifully. The blocking/choreography was also fantastic, with the actors filling the whole stage and different parts of the stage at any given moment. The unresolved ending always leaves me wanting.

I was blown away! The interactive ability to walk on the stage and see the props and set design was a first and an amazing experience! To see the audience from the actors perspective was very special. The musical was incredible - the lead male and female characters blew me away with their voices! It was over the top!!!

The music was absolutely beautiful. Really loved it.
