The Cobb County Center for Excellence in the Performing Arts Once on This Island: The Musical
“Once on This Island” is a poignant one-act stage musical, featuring a compelling narrative crafted by Lynn Ahrens and set to the evocative music of Stephen Flaherty. Inspired by Rosa Guy’s 1985 novel, “My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl,” this Caribbean-infused adaptation reimagines Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale, “The Little Mermaid.” Set against the backdrop of the French Antilles, the story follows a young peasant girl who embarks on a journey of love and sacrifice, striking a bargain with the gods to save the life of a wealthy boy she adores.
