About this Event

Book & Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Music by Stephen Flaherty

Once On This Island is a vibrant, Tony Award-winning musical about Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl on a Caribbean island, who falls in love with a wealthy boy from the "other side" of the island, sparking a bet among the powerful island gods—Earth, Water, Love, and Death—over love's ultimate power against death. The show explores themes of love, loss, social class, and resilience through its enchanting storytelling, Caribbean-inspired music, and powerful message of hope.
