I saw the original cast of 'Once on this Island", in 1990-91. When the show began, I thought it was going to stink. Then LaChanze, can on stage and sang this song, and I was blown away. I had chills!!! She made me love this show forever!!! Thank you, for such a wonderful theatre experience!!!

I can’t wait to see her on a broadway stage soon when I go to see Donna summer the musical

Can someone clarify something? I thought Jerry Dixon was the original Daniel on Once on This Island. I don't see Bill Meyers credited anywhere. I tried looking him up on ibdb but couldn't find anything.
