March 18, 2012 - Chicago Tribune

There are plenty of romantic Broadway musicals. But Once, the gorgeously crafted and intensely moving new show that opened on Broadway on Sunday night after a seamless transition from downtown to the main stem, is part of a much smaller and more rarefied group: musicals that are actually wise - even when that means being counterintuitive - about the joys and anguish of life and love, and that send the viewer's mind spinning with ideas, feelings and maybe even a few changes in personal priorities. Once does all that. Several times over.

Once Enchants in Screen-to-Stage Move
March 18, 2012 - Newsday

It is hard not to oversell the wonderful strangeness of Once, the enchanting little musical that moved to Broadway after a winter run at the New York Theatre Workshop. The show, an expansion of the 2006 indie film that won an Oscar for best song, is not strange in its plot (a heart-tugging romance) or its setting (a tavern in Ireland) or its party-theater desire to draw audiences onstage (before curtain and at intermission) for a drink or a dance. What's strange is the big-time boldness of its small-scale originality.
