Cast and creatives announced for Once revival at The Barn Theatre

Cast and creatives have been announced for the upcoming revival of musical Once at The Barn Theatre.

The Cirencester venue will present the Tony and Olivier award-winning show from 3 July – 12 August 2023.

Based on the critically acclaimed movie of the same name (written and directed by John Carney), Once features music and lyrics by the Academy award-winning team of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, including the Academy Award-winning song Falling Slowly, and a Tony award-winning book by Enda Walsh.

Sarah Moss (The Mousetrap – West End, Mad House – West End) will play the role of Girl alongside Tomas Wolstenholme (The Choir of Man – NCL, Once – West End/International Tour) as Guy. Wolstenholme understudied the role of Guy whilst on the international tour.

They’ll be joined by Amy Bastani (Zorro The Musical – Charing Cross Theatre, London & Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester) as Reza/Ex-Girlfriend, Toby Bradford (The Stand Up Sketch Show – ITV2) as Da/Bank Manager, Fiona Bruce (Coronation Street – ITV) as Baruska, Harry Curley (Summer in the City – Upstairs at the Gatehouse) as Andrej, Theo Diedrick (The True Adventures of Marion and Robin Hood – The Barn Theatre) as Eamon/Emcee, Thomas Fabian Parrish (Summer in the City – Upstairs at the Gatehouse) as Svec and David Shute (The Choir of Man – Adelaide Fringe, Avalon Theatre, Niagara Falls, Coventry, Edinburgh, NCL) as Billy.

Once is a modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin.

They write, rehearse and scrape together enough money to record a demo album with a motley crew of bar friends, in a collaboration that evolves into a powerful, very complicated but beautiful love story

Dominic Shaw directs and choreographs the new production with musical director Alex Turney, set & costume designs by Sophia Pardon, sound design by Nicholas Newman, lighting design by James Smith.
