Studio Theater at the Acropolis Mall in Santo Domingo presents the Dominican version of the Broadway musical “Once on This Island”. The one-act musical is based on the 1985 novel “My Love, My Love” by Rosa Guy. It is set in the French Caribbean and tells the story of a peasant girl who uses the power of love to bring together people of different social classes. It merges elements of the Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet story and Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” fairy tale. A revival of the play opened on 3 December 2017 in Broadway, New York.
In the Dominican version, “Una vez en esta isla,” the main roles are by Clara González and Alanna Cabrera.
The local productions will be Saturdays and Sundays, 13-14 October and 20-21 October 2018. Tickets for RD$1,000-RD$2,150 are for sale online at Ticket Express.
