The cast of Once performing at the 2012 Tony Awards

The cast of Best Musical winner Once performing at the 2012 Tony Awards

[@jamesoconnor6550]

I love to think of Fergus smiling down, seeing his work bringing joy to so many. What a journey for this song. He lives on, every time it's sung. What a moment for Glen and Marketa. Beautiful.

[@kellyrichardson3874]

One of the most beautiful musicals I ever saw. So lucky to have seen the original cast.

[@kenr7713]

The musical is so simple yet so amazing. I saw it three times in one week while it was in Seattle. It just seems to give me tingles in my head every time I hear the music.

[@olivermcerlean2635]

Spielberg said the movie renewed his faith in cinema.

[@davidmckesey7119]

Seriously? That's awesome

[@hiIMbeau]

That man jumping around while playing the cello is awesome!

[@nicki446]

This song just gives me chills every time. I love it so much. ...I also can't help but laugh when I watch the cello player dancing and singing with thing. Such respect for that guy..

[@EvanBlanton]

I went to the same college that Steve Kazee went to for undergrad, and I also did theatre. I met him, and he really is one of the nicest and most down to earth people I've ever met.

[@Riosoriano99712]

definitely lost it when i saw Glen and Marketa at the end…

[@HaunaMyKiki]

Saw the show when it toured in Orlando. I fully believe it's one of those that can only be appreciated live. This scene is so simple yet so memorizing, and the way the individual instruments reverb in the theatre is just stunning!

[@Tuigim]

It makes you feel you and the people on stage are part of the audience. It's a clever trick. Breaking down barriers is a big part of what Once is about. For some reason it reminds me of Las Meninas.

[@TheAngiekins]

I saw this last week and it was amazing. Funny,clever, bittersweet. Unbelievable cast/musicians. So glad I got to see it!

[@charleskevingray]

Saw the show on May 27th. One of the most deeply moving, and deeply felt, Broadway productions I've ever seen. These are people who believe deeply in the power of what they are doing, and I can't wait to go back and see them do it again.

[@jessatti123]

Wow! I wish I could see this. I've been a long time fan of Once and this was a great rendition of Gold.

[@bourbonking2091]

I saw this last night in London.... I've seen many many show's, never had one that left me fizzy nosed all through. I have a swinging brick for a heart but the music from this show smashes it to pieces.

[@welles2002]

just saw this last week in NY and was blown away buy its simple brilliance and the music will stay with you long after you leave some of the most hauntingly beautiful music I've ever heard.

[@bobopaxaton]

I agree, so true !

[@amyrouse223]

go watch the movie.. you won't regret it.. but you may become addicted to all things Glen Hansard,The Frames,Swell Season, Marketa Iraglova

[@redsed1565]

Now thats some very beautiful music ! Absolute GOLD!

[@davidmckesey7119]

This is beautiful. I love how the originals singers are clapping like proud parents

[@boriskaganovsky]

Saw "Once" last year in Toronto. One of the Best musicals.

[@breezy7141503]

Saw the original movie almost six years ago and loved it.. Wish the original got this much recognition, great movie

[@ganovane]

The original movie received an abundance of accolades, including an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, I'd say that's recognition!

[@hezekiahpabico2688]

ganovane Ummm "Once" won the Oscars for Best Original Song (Falling Slowly), and not Best Foreign Film. But yes it deserves much more recognition.

[@brendan-kailerlieb4347]

ganovane It could not have been nominated for a Foreign Film Oscar as the category is "Best Foreign Language Film".

[@Berniebop100]

Saw Once last Sunday in Perth WA. It was absolutely amazing. Our only regret was that we went on the final day, so we couldn't go and see it again! But Once seen, embedded in our hearts forever💚☘️

[@mattwhittle1]

Went to the Broadway show a month ago in NYC; the show was outstanding and this song sticks with you. If you have the chance go see the show, it's one of the most enjoyable Broadway shows I've ever seen... and get there early!!! You can go onstage and have a beer with the cast. Pretty amazing vibe. The stage settings and cast are unique, they all play instruments and sit on the sides of the stage through tout the show, and add their instruments to the performances at times to build up the song.

[@MarketResearcher22]

Saw "Once" this past Sunday as part of a "cousin's club" night out in celebration of St Patrick's week. It was lovely and would encourage others to go see it if the opportunity presents itself.

[@Numen90]

This is so beautiful.. Brought me to tears! Thank you Marka and Glen for such amazing music and thank you to the company of Onece for this beautiful rendition.

[@xaruiz]

I see most of the comments here remark on how the music is too slow for their preference. I think it might be difficult to appreciate the music if you haven't seen the movie. It's a very intimate and organic process. The beauty comes from within and you must live in the moment. That's the main challenge I would foresee in adapting a movie musical into a stage musical. Having said that, I think they honor the heart and the sound in the stage adaptation, even though I will always love the movie!

[@iago07]

He’s SO GORGEOUS. And I fell in love with him on Shameless! I want him. He’s just perfect. 😍

[@TheIcybloo]

went and say this on broadways this summer and it was truly incredible. by far my favorite show. its the most beautiful production ever

[@andresbv18]

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It must be amazing to see your baby have this kind of influence. To think it started as this little indie that made for 100 grand and what it has turned into.

[@paudiazolivares]

He is brilliant! In a million years I could so that. He deserves all the awards!

[@kg9836]

Saw the theatre version. Absolutely loved it live...

[@stlouisactor]

The movie was the first date with the love of my life. Falling Slowly became "our" song.

[@shaqman145]

See this movie!!!! Even though there are songs in the musical that aren't in the movie and vise versa, it's AMAZING. Saw it for the first time yesterday. Now I have to see the musical!

[@winkler94]

Thanks. It's pretty great stuff! Really wanna see this the next time I'm in NYC.

[@gitagirl9]

Saw the show at the Hollywood Pantages this afternoon & found it GREAT. Fab music/musicians/actors, & I just LOVE the staging. Funny & moving (I cried 2x) & the pre-show onstage Irish music mini-concert is GRAND. I see comments by people who didn't like it, but theatre is so subjective & everything doesn't speak to everyone. Just happy that this show spoke (& sang) to me!

[@haworthhoarder]

Saw this on Broadway a few nights ago. A must see show. Better in person than in this video.

[@bean4u]

I enjoyed watching and hearing this version. Very upbeat

[@KALEXANDERMALEC]

Because it's one of the most beautiful stories on stage.

[@hreal10]

we should all be happy and enjoy this forever!

[@stix2507]

love the music!!!! they do such a wonderful job performing.

[@lucbriant]

I love this show so much but seeing her come out and look around is just the most hilarious thing to me lol like girl are you lost???

[@chmay9126]

I saw it this summer - I loved it; I am sure you will too. Enjoy!

[@meegg987]

still gives me chills!

[@17aplatt]

I just saw it in London and I must say, I fell in love with the London cast. They were so amazing and when I listened to the Broadway soundtrack I immediately found myself hoping for them to come out with a London soundtrack. It's way better in london.

[@wilderat]

Saw South Coast Repertory's production of this last Wednesday! It's a phenomenal show that is an absolutely amazing thing to experience in person. Seeing the full ensemble playing all their instruments on stage together in pieces like this is spine-chilling in the best way.

[@pattimelon]

"i was born with a silver spoon....walking in the moonlight....if your skin is gold - how long before they start digging...:" amazing reversal of values...just shows you what is a positive culture lovee!!

[@scorpioninpink]

Once, both the film and the musical, are phenomenal. Unfortunately they are very underrated.

[@AeroGold1]

Totally agree with you! I saw it in London as part of my splurge spend for that city, and it was totally worth it, and I think moved me more than this video (though admittedly, watching it live probably is a huge part of the emotional experience).

[@Scribe-Cosmos]

Saw this on Broadway earlier this week. First Broadway play I have ever seen and might I say.....beautiful music and story

[@Silverstorm1112]

I'm going to see this on the 26th and I'm so excited!

[@Tuigim]

Ah, 'her' - that was the third word! Fabulous job, cast of ONCE. 8 Tonys Thanks to all who created this magic: Fergus O Farrell of Interference, John Carney, Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova and the Broadway team that so richly deserve all those Tonys. Go see Once. Reminder: Glen Hansard is in The Wiltern on June 20th. His Rhythm and Repose album is coming out on the 19th. See the movie too and track everything you can down on these artists: Interference, The Swell Season, the Frames Glen and Mar ♥

[@BruceGreenberg]

Rhythm and Repose is amazing! A brilliant follow up to the Swell Season music.

[@barritonish]

Utterly captivating.

[@queevs__]

im from ireland and the guy siging is fantastic especially with the accent

[@sunnysnsd1000]

Love this musical. Saw it yesterday! My favorite! :)

[@sweeety969]

I know! I just saw them in the front row it was so cute I'm gushing!

[@MandeeSparkle]

I WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW SO BAD! I saw the movie at Sundance years ago and loved it! I want to see this play!

[@ani.darlingg]

so excited to perform this :)

[@ISleepAndIKnowThings]

Saw this at the DPAC in NC, phenomenal.

[@harrdeeharr]

Am I the only one particularly impressed by the dude playing the cello and doing that choreography??

[@NinaC]

Awwww oh my gosh!!!! The orignal cast from the movie was there and they look so proud this warms my heart!

[@GreenFairyPrincess]

Can't wait for it to come to London. One of my fave films with such beautiful music. Looking forward to see how its been translated to stage :]

[@skate0913]

Saw this on broadway yesterday...well worth it

[@bobopaxaton]

So beautiful !

[@bobopaxaton]

The look on her face is priceless !

[@RosesNightengales]

I really love this soundtrack! i can't wait to see it next year !

[@NatsKuriixD]

Speechless...

[@satiria613]

See if you can rent, Netflix or just BUY the movie "Once" (which preceeds the musical by several years). It's a lovely, independent film that features the music of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, and of course, now, has been turned into this beautiful Tony Award winning musical.

[@disneydanny2]

saw it on Friday in San Francisco and it's coming to Sacramento next April so i'm aslready looking forward to seeing it more then it's title.

[@ryanburke4633]

this is my favorite music

[@lpatrick357]

Love love love this!

[@roneehannon5447]

Awesome movie

[@josephsnyder55]

Just got the cd it's great.

[@lemonbutterslice]

I think it depends on how invested you are in the characters. There's no big 'wow' moments but it's very funny and sweet. The music is incredible.

[@lillymarie2788]

There’s a lot of people complaining about how Newsies should’ve won instead of Once and as a fan of both I can definitely say that Once deserves the win.

[@MS-df2fk]

Agreed. Newsies had a cool set, some incredible dancing and a few good songs but the plot was awful. Once was deceptively simple but at the same time very moving.

[@B-Mag]

People are only saying that because they think the main actor is hot and they saw it on Netflix

[@bean4u]

good as gold !

[@mandarific]

Glen Hansard (who originally played "The Guy" in the movie and wrote many of the songs) actually spoke about this song at a show a few months back and said that the guy who wrote it actually wrote it from the perspective of an old indian chief reflecting on the earth and the land. In the show it's more from the perspective of being about a girl, but I figured I'd share the insight :)

[@anemated20]

can't wait till it starts touring :)

[@marblefan500]

Steve inspired me to play guitar, and dress more formally . . .

[@lameass9648]

my boi Will jamming like a CHAMP

[@syaf-fura9385]

trashfilled mind YES

[@Silverstorm1112]

I did love it :)

[@MarieTherese821]

I wish they had left the heckling in at the beginning. It's fine without, but it just makes it extra beautiful when they all join in.

[@MsAngopi]

Markéta Irglová is so adorable.

[@TheRetroJester]

It's the mother from How I Met Your Mother!

[@EddieBiggins]

"Gold"

[@Marny5580]

This evening I saw 'Once' at the San Diego Civic Center and found the sound a bit 'thick' and loud! However, I also enjoyed the show - and the cleverness of the musicians/actors and staging. Yes, I would recommend the show.

[@Patrikuse]

SUBLIME

[@KyQTip]

Love Steve Kazee

[@Kevin5262]

When u see the actual play the heckling is there. They probably just dropped it for the preformance on The Tonys.

[@domlo66]

"To live, you have to love"… then he should have gone "I'VE GOT HAM BUT I'M NOT A HAMSTER!"

[@ThomasMcKeon]

Wow. Tony Romo can sing AND due play-by-play analysis.

[@mattstartsomething]

they were both there watching it live. :D

[@angelortiz1957]

Pippin is awesome

[@christieannfields544]

May I ask what the name of this song is? I've never seen Once but, jus watching this I'm eager to watch it as soon as I can. And may I ask 'why am I crying like a baby listening to this song for the first time?'

[@michaeldillon2205]

Christie Ann Fields its called gold

[@goksekor]

+Christie Ann Fields This was 4 months ago, but you should see the movie, if you haven't already.

[@christieannfields544]

+Michael Dillon Thank U Michael.

[@Nedster05]

I can tell you that this version is far better than the one in the movie. The film version is at a party were musicians get together and play. It was nice but this version is beyond incredible. When I saw it live, I started to cry.

[@THERONANJF]

Fun fact, Gold is the only song on the album not written by glen or marketa, it was actually written by glens very close friend fergus o Farrell who was the headman of the band interference. One of irelands greatest songwriters.

[@ricodegenkolb707]

12 points :-)

[@madizavitz]

Woo!! GO Zygo!!!

[@JohnRichardPetersen]

FALLING SLOWLY is on the Broadway Soundtrack

[@hukilauzy]

i totally understand, Memphis was my favorite, i just booked my ticket to NY in Nov i'm able to watch 3 shows i got Pippin, is this worth it, i heard it was good, just by what i saw , it does look good, let me know please...watching it on the15 of nov...cant wait

[@jasoncredo7996]

Why bother commenting if you don't like it? Just switch to a different video and keep the negativity to yourself. Some people actually want to enjoy the music.
