Music & Lyrics by GLEN HANSARD & MARKÉTA IRGLOVÁ
Once is a modern, heartwarming musical that tells the story of an Irish street musician and a Czech immigrant who form an unlikely bond over their shared love of music. Set against the backdrop of Dublin, the musical captures the magic of creative connection, love, and the healing power of song. With a score that blends folk, pop, and soul, Once features intimate, soulful performances that bring out the raw emotions of its characters. The show’s unique structure, where the cast also serves as the orchestra, creates an immersive, almost cinematic experience that resonates long after the final note fades.

About the Majestic
Before it was a live theater, local residents may remember the Majestic Theater as a movie house. It has since been renovated and reimagined to bring locally-produced professional live theater to the West Springfield area, giving local performance and technical artists the opportunity to thrive.
Every season at the Majestic consists of five productions featuring local actors. In addition to the mainstage season, the Majestic hosts seasonal concerts and limited shows, improv comedy, an annual holiday show, children’s theater, and education for young actors.
Recently named the Best Place to See Live Theater in the Pioneer Valley in the Valley Advocate Readers' Poll, the Majestic continues to offer great theater thanks to the support and generosity of its 4200+ subscribers.
