"The art of storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. It's also a way for myths and tales that have significance to specific cultures to be carried down from generation to generation while also frequently requiring the imagination of the person hearing it to bring the story to life. In Once on This Island, the Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music) Caribbean-influenced musical, storytelling is used as a beautiful way to tell a compelling, moving and highly entertaining tale of a poor, young woman who faces classism and colorism when she falls in love with a wealthy boy. With a talented cast, rich creative elements, and powerful direction imaginatively bringing the story to life before our eyes, the national tour of the 2017 Tony Award winning revival, at ASU Gammage in Tempe through Sunday, is a powerful and moving production and a testament to the power and joy of storytelling...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
