Earlier this week, with FIVE free double passes to see the 7UP/Happenings presentation of Once in Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2 Tomorrow night on offer,, we asked you to devise a plot for a sequel to the popular Irish musical
You answered in your tens.
The five winners in no particular order were:
Yep: “The plot for Once 2 will involve a part time musician making ends meet by erecting fences at a Direct Provision centre who falls in love with a young woman from Nigeria with 2 kids. The love blossoms and they record an EP which they can’t tour because it’s considered “earnings”. The EP is leaked online and draws attention to the situation the new family are living in. The 3rd act is essentially that Paul Simon Graceland concert in the RDS.”
Mourinho: “The plot for ‘Once 2′ will involve the same repetitive dull rehash of a song all the way through, and a big marketing push, a music video, some short clips to go viral, and fawning from local press talking about the awards season.”
Sue Butler: “The plot thickens when one dark winter night screams are heard coming from the sitting room that housed the piano that love & friendship had grown from, only to find that the piano had given birth to…a Baby Piano. ”
Joxer: “The plot for Once 2 will involve Glen Hansard character ‘Hoover Fixing Guy’ building a Robot who fights crime and busks on the side…RoboBusker will be epic….”
Daisy Chainsaw: ‘The plot for ‘Once 2′ will involve Guy (Glen Hansard) buying a speaker and getting plugged in. The full title is Once 2: Electric Boogaloo
Thanks all.

Glen Hansard joined the LA cast of Once: The Musical last Friday night for a bit of an oul’ jingle-jangle.
A more than daycent cover, in fairness.

The Broadway adaptation takes place entirely in a Dublin pub, and the 14-actor company plays all of the show’s music – even playing as the audience comes in before the show. It’s one way the show stays intimate and relatable, which was one of the challenges in transitioning Once from screen to stage. “[Playwright] Enda [Walsh] has got a friend who said, ‘Turning Once into a piece of theatre would be like catching a butterfly,” and that’s absolutely a brilliant way of putting it,” said director John Tiffany, who is making his Broadway directorial debut. “We were very, very careful, fragile, delicate to retain the purity of that story while still making it something that can communicate to a thousand people in the same room.”
