Once the Musical (Touring) Tickets

I saw it in Dublin in Aug. 2015 and this one in Hershey was just as good!

This was an amazing show with an outstanding cast. The story is wonderful, the direction was unique and furthered the story, and the cast was incredible. It was a real treat to watch the same people act, dance, sing, and play instruments -- what great talents!

I had loved the movie, but wasn't sure what to expect from the stage show. Was certainly NOT disappointed. My friend was not familiar with the story and also loved. We were both wiping away tears. The concept of all the musicians staying on the stage was unique, as was the "preshow" of tunes, leading right into the show.

Having seen the show on Broadway, I had to see it again. The touring company did not disappoint. This version was as good as the Tony winning Broadway version, although astute listeners will notice some new interpretations of the songs.

Highly recommended show. The cast was fantastic, the music was moving and emotional tangible, loads of fun, laughs, tears, and simply exquisite. If you're in the fence "Do it!" You won't be disappointed.

I've been in love with this music since the movie came out in 2006. To see it on the stage was awesome. Such a talented group of performers. To play all the music for the show as well as act and sing takes talent and this cast rocked it!!!!

The show is different from any Broadway show that I have seen before in that the actors in the show are also all instrumentalists. In fact, there is no pit. The set stays the same: a bar with chairs set to the side for use of the musicians as they come and go according to the instrumentation of a given song. There is not much dancing but some very interesting choreography of movement. Clearly the cast is made up of a different kind of talent than theatergoers find in a typical Broadway show. If you are any kind of a musician---or even if you are not-- you will find this show to be a moving musical journey full of humor and love.
