Once On This Island

Once On This Island: Music by Stephen Flaherty. Book and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. Based on Rosa Guy's novel "My Love, My Love". A cross between "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Little Mermaid," Once On This Island follows the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl on a Caribbean island. She falls in love with Daniel, a grandes homme, and we watch their journey as the four gods who rule the island (Asake - Mother of Earth, Agew - God of Water, Erzulie - Goddess of Love, and Papa Ge - Demon of Death), rule their path. They do so by betting love versus death, with Ti Moune and Daniel in the middle. Which will win in the end? It is the story of life, love, pain, hope, death, and the path one is given.
