One Year on Broadway is the unlikely true story of two musical theater fans whose lives were forever changed by seeing a touring production of Once on This Island in 1992. What they saw that night was a version of their own story played out on the stage and it gave them the courage to fight for their own forbidden love. Twenty-five years later, by some strange twist of fate, they were led back to the Island where they ignored conventional wisdom, took a leap of faith, and became co-producers of the Tony Award winning Broadway Revival of Once On This Island. This is their love letter to the musical that gave them more than they ever could have imagined.
I think when we're young we all sort of imagine what our lives will look like, but for most of us there are road blocks, twists and turns, and giant pot holes in our way. Sometimes we reach the planned destination and other times we venture off a side road and discover a whole new world we never knew existed.
We never imagined we would be at the Tony Awards, but that is where our road led us.
