Rejoice with the gods at the cult-favourite musical, *Once on This Island,* at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in London. *Once on This Island* tickets are available now on London Theatre.

This Caribbean-fueled musical reimagines *The Little Mermaid* with magnificent gods instead of sea witches and tackles topics of race, classism, and colonialism set to an alluring backdrop of Calypso music. The show is one of the earliest works from writer-composer team, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Aherns, who would later create hits like *Ragtime* and *Seussical*. 

*Once on This Island* premiered on Broadway in 1990 and went on to receive eight Tony Award nominations. When the show transferred to the West End four years later in 1994, it won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical. In 2017, the musical returned to Broadway in a production starring Alex Newell and Lea Salonga, and won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical. A film adaptation is in the works for Disney+. 

*Once on This Island* is based on Rosa Guy’s novel *My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl*. Guy set the fairytale retelling on a Caribbean-like island, inspired by her own Trinidadian roots.

### What is *Once on This Island* about?

The *Once on This Island* musical tells of a orphaned girl who must discover her fate. *In Once on This Island*, theatregoers join gods and mortals alike on a small island in the Antilles archipelago. Young orphaned Ti Moune unknowingly becomes part of a bet made between the gods who rule the island she lives on, ultimately testing whether the power of love or death is stronger. 

One day, after a terrible storm, Ti Moune finds a boy in a car wreck and rushes to his aid. The boy, Daniel, is the son of a wealthy hotel owner and a direct descendant of the French aristocrats who colonised the island. Despite protests from her parents and the other peasants, Ti Moune cares for him and falls in love. 
After Daniel returns to his home, Ti Moune has to decide if her love is worth pursuing. *Once on This Island* is a moving coming-of-age story about love, grief, sacrifice, and finding the strength to follow your heart.

Tickets to *Once on This Island* are available now. Book your *Once on This Island* tickets on London Theatre today.

- Gabrielle Brooks, who plays Ti Moune, is an Olivier Award-nominated actress. She's best known for playing Rita Marley in *Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical*. She also plays Nadia in the hit Netflix show Shadow & Bone.
- In 2020, it was announced that a film adaptation will be coming to Disney+ with a script by playwright Jocelyn Bioh and directed by Wanuri Kahiu.
