One of the most beloved, widely performed musicals of the last 25 years, Once on This Island introduced Broadway to the songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Seussical). This show was nominated for eight Tony Awards® including Best Musical and Best Score.

Once on This Island Won't Disappoint
This is a great show--beautiful and heartfelt. The music is rich and full and supports the story line and characters beautifully. I love shows by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical) and their format: more music than dialogue, almost operatic in form. I just saw this piece on stage and, if you have the opportunity, go and see it.

A "Must Listen To" Musical!
Lively music-- wonderful change of pace! The Caribbean music lends itself perfectly to rebelling this version of "The Little Mermaid!"

Great music
I first heard excerpts of this musical on XM's Broadway station. I enjoy the Calypso sound and happy that I bought the score.
