"In Once on This Island, the stage has found its own sugar-and-cartoon-free answer to The Little Mermaid. A 90-minute Caribbean fairy tale told in rousing song and dance, this show is a joyous marriage of the slick and the folkloric, of the hard-nosed sophistication of Broadway musical theater and the indigenous culture of a tropical isle."
– New York Times

"A burst of spring, a warm 90-minute fairy tale told to breezy Caribbean rhythms... a light-footed charmer."
