Once On This Island Jr. is a 60‑minute, Caribbean‑infused adaptation of the Tony‑nominated Broadway musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, inspired by Rosa Guy’s novel and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. The story follows Ti Moune, a peasant orphan rescued by the island’s gods, who falls in love with a wealthy boy named Daniel—but her quest to save him tests love against prejudice, death, and social division.
