Once On This Island


This was my last show with Player's Club. I couldn't have asked for a better way to go out- or a more beautiful story to leave with. It's so sad, so tragic, and so perfect and beautiful at the same time! I haven't been able to listen to the end song without crying from I first heard it. I've always believed in the power of storytelling, and this puts an absolute garnish on that concept.

If you can, go listen to the music. It's beautiful- although once you've listened to it, check this one out and let out a fresh batch of tears.




It's the same theme as the vocalization during the end 'A Part of Us.'

I also read (and own) the book the musical is based on- My Love, My Love, by Rosa Guy. It's similarly beautiful, and sad. It's a little more heavily Little Mermaid/Swan Lake, but still follows the same basic plot.

I miss it so much! Actually, It'll also be my first tattoo- on the side of my ribcage. (I will probably change the color of the lettering, but haven't decided to what yet.)
