Savannah Repertory Theatre presents "Once"

  • Trustees Theater 216 East Broughton Street Savannah, GA, 31401 United States (map)

“Guy” is an Irish singer/songwriter who spends his days fixing vacuums in the Dublin shop he runs with his father, and his nights playing his music on the street. He is on the verge of giving up music altogether when a Czech immigrant, “Girl”, passes by, hears him play, and refuses to let him abandon his guitar. As it turns out, she has a broken vacuum cleaner, Guy repairs it, and she pays him in music on a piano she plays in an instrument store. Over the course of a week, Girl convinces Guy to believe in the power of his music and his love for the woman who inspired his songs. They scrape together money to record a demo album with a motley crew of bar friends, and their unexpected friendship and collaboration evolves into a powerful - but very complicated - love story.

ONCE is the only show whose music has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award, and a Tony Award.
