What started as a small indie film dreamt up by Irish director John Carney and Frames frontman Glen Hansard has grown into something much more than that.

From winning an Oscar for Best Original Song to breaking records on Broadway as a stage musical, Once's simple love story and beautiful music have charmed audiences around the world.

Now, Once is returning home to the streets of Dublin once again with a summer run of the stage show at the Olympia Theatre.

Previews kick off on July 4th, with the show's official run starting on July 14th.

S! TV's Niamh Geaney headed along to the Olympia to chat to the show's stars Megan Riordan and Tom Parsons between rehearsals – and to get a personal performance of the musical's iconic song, Falling Slowly.

Ticket prices start at €29.50 and are on sale now from ticketmaster.ie, and of course you can follow the show on Twitter and Facebook for more updates.
