Entering the theater to see "Once" is very unlike any other performance. The stage is open pre-performance for guests to check out the set (no photos allowed, and no touching!) and the Kimmel Center was selling beer, wine and water from the on-stage bar.
The show begins even before the real show begins. As people are milling about on stage, grabbing a drink and checking out the set, the cast come on stage and start singing, dancing and entertaining the crowd. As show time nears, guests are ushered off the stage and back to their seats while the cast continues to sing and dance until the "guy" begins to sing and all the other cast members drift to chairs along the side of the stage. During his song, another character appears on stage from the theater and the show goes from there.
This is a fun musical with a lot of beautiful music filled with heart and soul that you will be humming days afterwards. Find when "Once" is coming to a theater near you (or check the Broadway schedule) here.
