Tickets for Indie Flick-Turned-Broadway Tuner Once Now On Sale

Tickets for the romantic new musical Once, based on the independent film of the same name, are now on sale. The show, starring Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti, will begin previews at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on February 28, with opening night set for March 18. John Tiffany directs.

Featuring a score by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who won an Academy Award for the Once song “Falling Slowly,”  the show is set on the streets of Dublin.
