The folk/indie-pop-kissed musical, according to production notes, "tells the story of an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, their unexpected friendship and collaboration evolves into a powerful but complicated romance, heightened by the raw emotion of the songs they create together. Brought to the stage by an award-winning team of visionary artists and featuring an ensemble cast of gifted actor/musicians, Once is a musical celebration of life and love: thrilling in its originality, daring in its honesty...and unforgettable in every way."

The 2007 film was written and directed by John Carney, and starred Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, with original music and lyrics by Hansard and Irglová, who won the Oscar for the song "Falling Slowly," which is prominently featured in the new musical.

As reported, the cast album will be released by Masterworks Broadway on March 13.
