E-grāmata: Once: The Musical

'Miraculously retains the intimate feeling and freshness of fringe... it's funny, it's truthful, it sings. If London audiences don't love it to bits I disown them' * The Times * 'Wins you over with its simplicity, charm and air of melancholy' * Guardian * 'There is genuine warmth and inclusiveness to this show... best of all is Enda Walsh's script, which has great, puckish fun applying a bit of Brechtian silliness to the romcom formula' * Time Out * 'Quiet, wistful, tender... it has a delicate soulfulness and a truthful charm' * Evening Standard * 'Charmingly funny and affecting... demonstrates the power of music both to express deep psychic hurt and to perform a cure of sorts' * Independent * 'Walsh captures the fragile charm of the original movie in a book bursting with unexpected humour... offers a glimmer of sophistication to audiences tired of back-catalogue musicals and asinine plots' * The Stage * 'The musical has a masterful, even revelatory, book by the Irish playwright Enda Walsh... it is no traditional screen-to-stage adaptation. Rather, it's a textbook example of how to do it right.' * Chicago Tribune * 'Original and emotionally exhilarating.' * Washington Post *
