The musical Once On This Island will be coming to the Hershey Theatre from December 3rd to the 8th. In 2018, this show won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.

The story is set on a tropical island and follows a peasant girl named Ti Moune. Guided by the island’s gods, she sets out to reunite with the man she loves. On her adventure, she brings people together from across various social classes.

Ti Moune is played by Courtney Carter, who made her Broadway debut with this show. Ti Moune’s love interest, Daniel Beauxhomme, is played by Tyler Hardwick. Hardwick has had roles in other Broadway productions, including Motown the Musical.

Once On This Island is directed by the two time Tony Award nominated Michael Arden and choreographed by Camille A. Brown, a 2019 Tony Award nominee for best choreographer.

The musical will be playing at the Hershey Theatre at 7:30 pm from the 3rd to the 5th, 8:00 pm on the 6th, 2:00 and 8:00 pm on the 7th, as well as 1:00 and 6:30 pm on the 8th.

Tickets are for sale on Ticketmaster starting at $25.
