Broadway review: Onstage, gorgeous 'Once' has a heart all its own
![There are plenty of romantic Broadway musicals. But "Once," the gorgeously crafted and intensely moving new show that opened on Broadway on Sunday night after a seamless transition from downtown to the main stem, is part of a much smaller and more rarefied group: musicals that are actually wise — even when that means being counterintuitive — about the joys and anguish of life and love, and that send the viewer's mind spinning with ideas, feelings and maybe even a few changes in personal priorities. "Once" does all that. Several times over.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2012-03/68897781-18201627.jpg "There are plenty of romantic Broadway musicals.

At New York Theatre Workshop, 'Once,' falling slowly into a musical
![NEW YORK - Anyone who caught the Irish guy Glen Hansard and the Czech girl Marketa Irglova playing their gorgeous song "Falling Slowly" on the Academy Awards telecast has a sense of both the strength and fragility of "Once," the haunting, 2006 independent movie drawn from their unlikely story of love on the streets of Dublin. Even at the epicenter of bejeweled commercial hype, this pair seemed curiously untouched, remarkably ordinary and wholly able to sing of the pain and necessity of falling down quietly, but also being able to help someone to get back up.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-12/66726709-12150747.jpg "NEW YORK - Anyone who caught the Irish guy Glen Hansard and the Czech girl Marketa Irglova playing their gorgeous song "Falling Slowly\" on the Academy Awards telecast has a sense of both the strength and fragility of \"Once,\" the haunting, 2006 independent movie drawn from their unlikely story of love on the streets of Dublin.
