The
Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is thrilled that its regional premiere of
Once, co-produced with the New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich, has received six nominations in the prestigious
Off West End Theatre Awards.
Assessors from
The Offies (
Off West End Theatre Awards) have nominated
Once for
Best Musical Production,
Ben Goddard for
Best Musical Direction, Emma Lucia for
Best Female Performance in a Musical,
Daniel Healy for
Best Male Performance in a Musical, and

The
OffWestEnd.com website, which champions London’s independent theatres, launched the annual awards – also known as
The Offies - in 2010 to celebrate excellence in productions outside the West End. The
Queen’s Theatre is one of over 80 participating venues across the capital and a final shortlist of nominees will come out early next year.
Featuring an ensemble of cast of actor-musicians,
Once tells the unforgettable story of a Dublin street musician and a funny Czech woman, drawn together by their shared love of music. As they assemble a band from her wild family and his quirky mates, the music flows and they fall slowly in love.
