Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens<BR>Music by Stephen Flaherty<BR>Based on the novel My
Love, My Love by Rosa guy<BR><BR>The age-old story of star-crossed lovers gets a
shot of Calypso rhythm and Caribbean heat in this bittersweet musical romance.
Set against the backdrop of class differences in Haiti, Once on This Island uses
soaring melodies and sultry dances to tell the story of Ti Moune, an orphan
living among the island’s poor peasants and praying for a future that seems
impossible. But when divine intervention puts Ti Moune face to face with her
true love, a young aristocrat, she begins a journey to find herself and reclaim
her heart.<BR><BR>[Please feel free to forward this email to all your theater
