A revival of Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty's (music) coming-of-age musical Once On This Island opens the 2023 summer season at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. First staged in 1990, and based on an earlier story by Rosa Guy which itself was a Caribbean-set retelling of The Little Mermaid fairy tale, the show follows a peasant girl, Ti Moune, who falls in love with a wealthier boy, Daniel, and makes a pact with the gods to save his life.


The show won the 1995 Olivier Award for Best New Musical following its West End transfer from Broadway in 1994. It's been revived several times since, most notably on Broadway in 2017, but this summer's production in Regent's Park, helmed by exciting director Ola Ince (Romeo & Juliet), is the most significant to reach London in some time. Gabrielle Brooks (Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical) stars as Ti Moune, with Stephenson Ardern-Sodje (The Lion King) the forbidden object of her desire, Daniel.
