An impromptu duet between Guy and Girl, moments after their first meeting, it begins tentatively, then intensifies as they gain each other's trust. Learn everything you need to know about the community, including information about average home prices and current homes for sale in Glenview. "Once" requires the actors to accompany themselves, and director/choreographer Katie Spelman's ensemble does so joyfully. Rounding out the first-rate cast is Bethany Thomas, music director Matt Deitchman, Jordan Golding, Elleon Dobias, Ron E Rains (terrific as Guy's grieving dad), and Kajsa Allen and Viva Boresi, who alternate in the role of Girl's daughter.
