Grafton Street in Dublin came to a standstill this week for a very special musical performance.

Once: The Musical is coming home to the Olympia Theatre between July 4th and August 22nd, having won eight Tony Awards during its Broadway run.

The stars of the show took to Ireland’s busiest shopping street on Thursday for this performance of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova’s ‘Falling Slowly.’

Once: The Musical is adapted from the 2007 film of the same name that started off small but ended up grossing more than $20m worldwide.
