We’re certainly not falling slowly for this new artwork...we’re obsessed!😍
With just over two weeks til opening night for the Scottish premiere of Once the musical, we’re over the moon to share this gorgeous new artwork for the show featuring our Guy and Girl, Dylan Wood and Lydia White.
Set in Dublin and driven by live music, Once follows a disillusioned street musician ready to leave his songs behind and the girl who challenges him to believe in his talent. With the support of an unconventional group of friends and fellow musicians, they embark on creating an album together.
A unique piece of musical theatre about the songs that connect us, and the people we meet just once, but never quite forget. 🎶
📆 Experience it ONLY at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 23 May - 27 June
