Cast and creative team announced for revival of ONCE THE MUSICAL at Barn Theatre Cirencester

The Barn Theatre in Cirencester has announced the full cast and creative team for their upcoming revival of the Tony and Olivier award-winning musical Once, which will run at the Cotswold theatre from 3 July – 12 August.

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.

Set in Dublin, the musical follows the unforgettable story of an Irish street musician and a funny Czech woman, drawn together by their shared love of music. Sarah Moss (The Mousetrap, West End) will play the role of Girl alongside Tomas Wolstenholme (The Choir of Man, NCL) as Guy. Wolstenholme also understudied the role of Guy on the international tour of Once.

Joining Moss and Wolstenholme in the cast are Amy Bastani (Zorro The Musical, Charing Cross Theatre & Hope Mill Theatre) 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.

The new production will see Dominic Shaw return to direct and choreograph, and he will be joined by musical director Alex Turney, set and costume designer Sophia Pardon, sound designer Nicholas Newman, and lighting designer James Smith.
