We went to see Once on Broadway this past weekend. Though a friend of mine had said she was not impressed with it while it was still off-Broadway, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the show. At first, it was odd that Glen & Marketa weren't the ones on stage, but Steve Kazee won me over in the role of "Guy" after the opening number, "Leave". Unfortunately, I was not as impressed with the female lead - she's got a lovely voice - but it seemed as though she was trying too hard (if that makes sense). They've made some changes in the story for the stage adaptation, but it definitely stands on its own. Not that awards mean anything, but it makes me happy that they lead the 2012 Tony Award nominations (that came out today) with 11 in total.
