Once On This Island

Once On This Island is a one-act stage musical based on My Love, My Love; (The Peasant Girl) by Rosa Guy. The 1985 novel is a Caribbean retelling of The Little Mermaid (Hans Christian Andersen's version). The coming-of-age musical was first performed on Broadway and then at the West End.

The musical began with an Off-Broadway performance at the Playwrights Horizons in May 1990. It premiered on Broadway in October 1990 and closed in December 1991. Graciela Daniele was the director and choreographer of the Broadway version of the musical. He also directed the US national tour version.

Once On This Island opened at the West End in 1994 and won the Best New Musical category at the Olivier Awards. It was revived in 2009 to be performed at three theaters in the UK. The Broadway version was revived in 2017 with Michael Arden as the director and Camille A. Brown as the choreographer.

The Broadway production team also went on a national tour cut short due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.

The Plot, Musical Numbers, and Other Information

The musical is set in the French Antilles on the Caribbean Islands. It tells the story of Ti Moune, an orphan peasant girl. She is adopted by a loving family and has a happy life. However, she feels there's more in life for her and is destined for great things.

Things are set in motion when she comes across a handsome stranger, Daniel, hurt in a thunderstorm. She falls in love while nursing him back to health.

Ti Moune makes a deal with the Gods in exchange for saving the man's life. The story follows along the lines of The Little Mermaid, with the Gods playing an active role in the background.

Ti Moune's life ends with her death, though the Gods turn her into a tree on the island. The tree symbolizes a celebration of love and life as it grows bigger. It becomes a legend among the locals, and Ti Moune's story is passed from one generation to another. The musical ends with a little girl telling the story to distract her mind from a raging storm.

The Broadway version has twenty musical numbers. A few changes were made to other versions, though most of the songs are the same.

Once On This Island musical is being adapted into a Disney film.
