Join us for an evening of fun at the award winning musical Once. This musical has entertained audiences nonstop during its three year history and has won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2012. With no glorious staging or special effects.  Once uses a minimalist approach designed for you to relate more personally with the actors. The only stationary set is a bar with scene changes accomplished with lighting and props.  The actors are also musicians and even provide all the live music for the play.

This romantic performance intertwines the story of personal love and musical dreams. Once is a Guy-Meets-Girl story with unlikely partners.  Guy is a depressed Irish musician recovering from a break up, and Girl is a precocious Czech pianist in a complicated relationship.  Watch these two develop as characters and musicians until the very end of the story.    More information is available on its website www.oncemusical.com.

Prior to the performance, we will stop at The Domain in Austin for dinner on your own. Choose from a myriad selection of restaurants including California Pizza Kitchen, Cru, Daily Grill, Gloria's, Maggiano's Little Italy, North, and Urban.

Ticket cost includes transportation and orchestra seating.
