Once On This Island is a musical adaptation of Rosa Guy's book My Love, My Love, or The Peasant Girl. With music by Stephen Flaherty and a book by Lynn Ahrens, the musical debuted on Broadway in 1990, and its first Broadway revival opened in December 2017. The show has been relatively successful, with three official cast recordings.The story is a loose Caribbean retelling of "The Little Mermaid" tale, though this only becomes more obvious towards the end. On an island in the French Antilles, there is a strong gap between the rich and poor. The peasants, alienated because of their darker skin, labor and pray to the Gods every day, while the Grand Hommes (great men) live a carefree life. The four gods (Asaka, mother of the Earth, Agwe, God of water, Erzulie, Goddess of love, and Papa Ge, demon of death) are temperamental and constantly cruel. However, during one of Agwe's greatest floods, he decides to spare a young orphan girl. She is found and taken in by two peasants - Mama Euralie and Tonton Julian.Désirée Dieu Donne (known to everyone as Ti Moune) dreams of more than just peasant life, though. Her prayers to the gods are answered when Daniel Beauxhomme, son of one of the wealthiest men on the island, crashes his car in her village (courtesy of Agwe) and she must take care of him. Determined to pursue her sudden love for the boy, she leaves for the world of the rich. But not only did she make a deal with Papa Ge to let Daniel live, she is not welcome in this bright new world.Most people might be more familiar with the Junior version - Once On This Island Jr. got its own book, with shortened songs and some of the more mature themes edited out. This version is still regularly performed by schools and youth theatre groups throughout the US and the UK.On July 30, 2020, it was announced that Disney+ would adapt the musical into a film. Jocelyn Bioh will write the screenplay, Wanuri Kahiu will direct, and Marc Platt will produce. | |

The Mistress | |
Once on This Island (Theatre) / int_15395adc | comment |
The Mistress: There are implications in the lyrics that Ti Moune and Daniel's relationship was sexual. Ti Moune does not appear to realize that Daniel sees her as this. It's implied that it's when she's locked out the gates does she realize that maybe she would have settled for being a mistress. Also, having peasant mistresses seem to run in the Beauxhomme male bloodline going back from Armand and Daniel's father alludes to having peasant lovers. | |

Gender Flip | |
Once on This Island (Theatre) / int_34889673 | comment |
Gender Flip: In the 2017 Broadway revival, Papa Ge is portrayed by a woman (she's still credited as Papa Ge, however). Asaka qualifies to a double extent. In actual Haitian belief, Asaka is a male spirit. In the show and book it's based on, the character is gender flipped to be a goddess, and then in the revival, the character is portrayed by a male actor portraying a female. | |

Meaningful Appearance: In the revival, all the gods are wearing debris and trash to symbolically honor the hurricane victims in Haiti and the Caribbean. A close eye will spot Asaka wearing a large tablecloth for a dress, Erzulie's crown being made of wires and USB cords and her belt being a stethoscope (a tribute to the volunteer nurses who provide health care for victims), Agwe's beard being made of nets and plastic bags, and Papa Ge's scales are constructed from soda cans. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Ti Moune dies and everyone is devastated, but she is reincarnated as a tree that literally breaks down the walls of the Beauxhomme grounds. Daniel's son will find his eventual true love — a peasant girl — in it, and they will live Happily Ever After. This was changed from the complete Downer Ending of the book. Ti Moune also is consoled by the memories of her parents and childhood, now embracing the heritage she has left behind. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite it all, Asaka hears and protects Julian on his journey as well as taking Ti Moune under her wing in "Mama Will Provide", Agwe recognizes and spares Ti Moune due to her prayers in "Rain", Erzulie blesses Ti Moune and Daniel's love in "Human Heart" and is the first to speak up on Ti Moune's behalf during the Gods' quarrel after "Waiting For Life", and all of the Gods, even Papa Ge, are touched and weep for Ti Moune after her sacrifice for Daniel, and work together to spare her that fate. | |

Jerkass Gods: Erzulie messes around with innocent mortals' emotions in order to show up Papa Ge, who is just as eager to prove his superiority by forcing a girl to kill her lover. Agwe has a tendency to cause storms that kill people and ruin livelihoods just because he's in a bad mood. Asaka doesn't do much in the way of jerkassery, but seems perfectly content to take part in the others' petty disputes. | |

Cross-Cast Role: Asaka, while still a female character, is portrayed by a male actor in the revival. The idea came about when her actor, then male soprano Alex Newellnote Newell would later identify as non-binary after this production jokingly told director Michael Arden that they wanted to play the role. After giving it some thought, Arden decided to make it so. | |

Love Goddess: Erzulie is an interesting take on this trope, as she seems genuinely hoping for Ti Moune to succeed in winning Daniel's heart, but it's more to prove a point to Papa Ge-quinessentially, she and Papa Ge are in something of a pissing contest to prove if love or death is the stronger force, and she'll resort to messing with emotions to do so. | |

But Not Too Black: Daniel and the rest of the Grand Homme are light-skinned, compared to the darker peasants that face colorism on account of their skintone. Some productions will actually cast white actors as the Grand Homme instead, to further illustrate the divide between them and the peasants, which gives an odd juxtaposition to the "coffee mixed with cream" line. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
Once on This Island (Theatre) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: To The Little Mermaid. There are also minor shout outs to it, such as when Asaka says "A fish has got to learn to swim on land!" There's more. In one scene, Ti Moune has to wear painful shoes (referencing the Little Mermaid constantly feeling as if she is to be stabbed by daggers). Ti Moune is also asked to dance for Daniel and Andrea, referencing the mermaid serving as the prince's dancing slave. There is the penultimate scene, which brings the fairy tale full-circle, where after Daniel betrayed her to marry Andrea, Ti Moune must kill Daniel with a dagger to escape her deal with Papa Ge, and she, of course, refuses, compelling her to drown herself. In the musical, Ti Moune being reborn as a tree is meant to be the counterpart to becoming a "daughter of the air." | |

Dark Reprise | |
Once on This Island (Theatre) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: "Pray" is in itself something of a dark reprise (it's based in the melody of "We Dance" played in a minor key), and "Forever Yours" and "The Human Heart" both get dark reprises at the end. Arguably, the "Pray" reprise is slightly darker too. | |

Pet the Dog: Depending on how Andrea's actor plays it. Despite trying to lure Ti Moune to humiliate herself initially, Andrea does compliment Ti Moune's dancing and thanks her for healing Daniel, and sometimes she might genuinely enjoy Ti Moune's dancing. Some actors portray Andrea as feeling awful and guilty that Ti Moune was not informed of Daniel's engagement and tries to break the news to her in the kindest way. | |
