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.
