Musical set for success once more

Once the musical, which began life as a tiny budget film on the streets of Dublin, is fast turning into a financial juggernaut.

The Broadway musical adaption has made more than $30m (€24m) since it opened in New York in March this year.

As preparations continue to bring the stage show to Dublin next February, then London’s West End, the producers have also revealed plans to roll it out across the US from next summer.
