MCG productions presents Once On This Island in a dazzling one-night-only concert at the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
This star-studded evening features Tony Award–winner Alex Newell (Shucked, Chicago) reprising their role as Asaka, Cedric Neal (Guys & Dolls, Hadestown) as Agwe, WhatsOnStage Award–winner Melanie La Barrie (&Juliet, Wicked) as Papa Ge and Dujonna Gift (Hamilton, Two Strangers, Carry a Cake Across New York) as Ti Moune — with more exciting casting to be announced.
Written by the Tony and Olivier-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, this is musical theatre at its most electrifying.
Once On This Island in Concert bursts to life with Caribbean color, driving rhythms, and the unstoppable pulse of folklore. The story follows Ti Moune, a bold and hopeful peasant girl who saves—and falls in love with—Daniel, a boy from a world far beyond her own. When destiny shifts, she makes a daring pact with the island gods, embarking on a journey of love, loss, faith, and fearless hope.
A sweeping celebration of passion, sacrifice, and the magic of community, Once on This Island returns in this unforgettable concert event—vibrant, heart-stirring, and utterly unmissable.
