⭐ ONCE – SCOTTISH PREMIERE ANNOUNCED ⭐
The Scottish premiere of the award-winning musical ONCE has been announced.
ONCE is the Tony Award-winning musical based on John Carney’s much-loved 2007 film, which introduced the Academy Award-winning song Falling Slowly. Premiering in New York in 2012 and winning eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, ONCE is now coming to Scotland for the very first time. The original creative team reunite to bring this modern classic to the stage, opening Alan Cumming’s inaugural season as artistic director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
Set in Dublin, the story follows Guy, a disillusioned street musician ready to leave his songs behind, and Girl, a spirited Czech immigrant who challenges him to believe in his talent. With the support of an unconventional group of friends and fellow musicians, they embark on creating an album together.
This achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. From the very first note, ONCE draws you in and never lets go.
ONCE will be drected by John Tiffany, with design by Bob Crowley, movement by Steven Hoggett and music supervision & orchestrations by Martin Lowe.
ONCE has music & lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, with a book by Enda Walsh.
ONCE will play Pitlochry Festival Theatre, running from 23rd May – 27th June 2026, with tickets on general sale from 27th November 2025 – 10am.
Beautiful! ! !
