Once on This Island
Book and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Directed by Nedra Dixon; Musical Direction by Molly Jessup

Premiere theatre for young audience’s version. This magical musical is a calypso-flavored twist on the traditional “Little Mermaid” tale now set on a Caribbean island! Here we have the story of Ti Moune, a poor peasant girl who falls in love with Daniel, a young man from a wealthy family whose life she saves after a car crash. When Daniel is returned to his people, the gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice. With its touching story and catchy pop and Caribbean inspired score by songwriters of the film Anastasia and the Coterie smash hit Seussical, Once On This Island promises to be a multi-cultural feast for the heart, mind and soul.

Most appreciated by adults, teens and young people ages 5 and older.

Approximate Length: 1:15
