Once the Musical comes to the Phoenix Theatre in London direct from Broadway having won an astonishing eight Tony Awards including Best Musical.
Once the Musical tells the story of an Irish busker, who is considering giving up, and a young Czech woman. Throughout the show they are simply known as the guy and the girl, they bond through their shared love of music and begin to writing together.
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who wrote the music and lyrics for the film, have composed the music for Once the Musical. They won an Oscar for the song Falling Slowly.

Dan he breaks his string and everything! His voice is amazing!

[@Stuey_Alexander]

Totally thought he was singing to Nicolas Cage for a hot second.

[@jamesthemaniac3293]

wonder how often strings are broken during this song.

[@tvsgarydamer]

I love this so much

[@MilkBoy17520]

I was wondering right before the end how often he broke a string during a performance. Perfect timing hah

[@leif1075]

Is that part of the show?

[@mathewhutchins2539]

Leif probably not scripted...it can be really difficult to break a string just from your strum alone.

[@aidankeane8971]

Because the guitar is tuned an open E there's extra tension on the 3rd 4th and 5th strings meaning breaks happen more often

[@theorangeseacucumber]

This is AMAZING! Arthur is great woo!

[@spikaia]

rory from doctor who??

[@RutabegaNG]

Yep.

[@leif1075]

Who knew a 2,000 year old plastic Centurion could have such golden pipes...

[@melo_maniac_studio]

Of course no, he is Rip Hunter from Legends Of Tomorrow.

[@Itzthebeanz]

Perfect string break haha

[@haema-db4ve]

퍼펙트!

[@samteuscher7049]

Scratching at the surface now And I'm trying hard to work it out And so much has gone misunderstood And this mystery only leads to doubt And I’m looking for a sign In this dark uneasy time And if you have something to say You'd better say it now 'Cause this is what you've waited for Your chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me now I will somehow 'Cause I'm picking up the message, Lord And I'm closer than I've ever been before So if you have something to say Say it to me now Just say it to me now

[@edisrael15]

I love how there is only mediocre applause at the end. I would've been like.. Holy shit.

[@TheBellaButton]

This wouldn't be a proper performance, this would be specifically for photos/videos/recordings. that being said, this whole production is performed just like this so you don't want to clap too much too often because it really pulls you out of the story when you watch it. Saw it in London, was amazing!

[@malcolmparnaby3681]

I saw Once twice on consecutive nights it was an amazing show

[@subscribtions4790]

Rip hunter 😂😂😂

[@hugo121200]

♥

[@Pawpatroll_159]

Omg you voice is beutiful arthur darvill

[@zeeloo101]

Rorrrrrry

[@user-vs2do2oy4z]

Круть!

[@nolanlemay]

Could anybody tell me what the intention behind this song is?

[@emily_nelson]

Within the story of the play, he's trying to get a banker (the guy sitting down) to lend him money so he can record a demo and try to make a career out of music; he plays this song that he wrote to show the banker what he can do.

[@nolanlemay]

Emily Nelson oh wow thank you so much!

[@XRidgewell]

When was this as it is not the show - he would have been in the suit! Was this a tech rehearsal. It would account for poor audience reaction.

[@DanielWhit]

Sylvia Ridgewell it's a deliberate press shoot - the audience were a small collection of journalists/vlogs/etc. Hence the small audience reaction :)

[@seanmsj]

Arthur Darville?

[@brunobucciarati1932]

Yup

[@ericdutra2983]

Steve Kazee or this guy?

[@ericdutra2983]

Or the original by glen hansard?

[@petalsandpinstripes9905]

"This Guy" is Arthur Darvill

[@saschahoupt6177]

Steve Kazee for me.

[@Wolfen6]

Seriously? Both have fantastic voices but I think Kazee is much more refined and much better guitarist.

[@mathewhutchins2539]

Wolfen Six agreed on the guitar for Kazee. Arthur starts pretty sloppy as far as his tempo. Steve’s rhythm is perfect as well as the nuance of his strum. He picks out the notes he wants to highlight whereas Arthur just blindly strums all 6 strings constantly. However, Arthur hits the high notes cleaner and with much more power and control. Steve was more or less shouting above the top of his range and in the few live versions I’ve heard, he misses the notes frequently.

[@Wolfen6]

Great voice but that strumming hand needs work! Remember, "Left hand is for show; The Right Hand is for dough!"

[@muskelpaulkleber7413]

I mean, okay, but this is so much worse than the original!

[@mathewhutchins2539]

He needs to work on his guitar playing. Sloppy sloppy

[@zikalakalooriis]

Mathew Hutchins it’s supposed to be sloppy

[@mathewhutchins2539]

Hely Nylund If we are to believe Guy is as good as all the characters say he is, the actor should be able to play in time.
