Based on the Academy Award-winning film of the same name, the musical, according to press notes, "tells the story of an Irish musician ('Guy') and a Czech immigrant ('Girl') 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."

Once features the Academy Award-winning music and lyrics of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, a book by award-winning Irish playwright and screenwriter Enda Walsh, direction by Scottish director John Tiffany, movement by Steven Hoggett and music supervision and orchestrations by Martin Lowe. The set and costume design are by five-time Tony Award winner Bob Crowley with lighting design by Tony winner Natasha Katz and sound design by Clive Goodwin.
