Hayes Theatre Co Announces ‘Once on This Island’ Cast

This August, Once On This Island brings heart and soul to the Hayes Theatre. A fearless girl, four meddling gods, and a love that defies the odds – meet the extraordinary cast bringing this powerful tale to life.

Thalia Osegueda Santos (Bearded) stars as Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl who risks everything for love. Opposite her, Alexander Tye (Bearded, Round The Twist: The Musical) plays Daniel, the wealthy boy from the other side of the island whose life she saves.

The four gods who shape their fate are: Paula Parore (We Will Rock You, Hairspray) as Asaka, Mother of the Earth; Googoorewon Knox (Hamilton) as Agwe, God of Water; Cypriana Singh (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) as Erzulie, Goddess of Love; and Rebecca Verrier (Hair, Hairspray) as Papa Ge, the sly Demon of Death.

Joining them is Zahrah Andrews (Hairspray, Passing Strange) as Mama Euralie, Sione Mafi Latu as Ton Ton Julien, Sebastian Nelson (The Great Gatsby) as Armand, Chaya Ocampo (The Questions, Chimerica) as Andrea, and Sara Camara (Rabbits On A Red Planet) and Paul Leandre Escorrido (Converted!) completing the cast as swings.

A reimagining of the Olivier Award-winning musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Anastasia), Once On This Island blends Caribbean myth with the cultures of contemporary Australia.

Full of music and magic, Hayes Theatre can’t wait to welcome you to the island. Don’t miss out – secure your tickets today and be part of the adventure!
