Summary

Feel the love as we explore Haitian Voodoo and its unique family of love spirits, the Erzulie. We look at three Erzulie who specialize in romantic love, motherly love, and love gone wrong. Plus, more about Amanda’s and Julia’s eclectic childhood hobbies!

For just a taste of Once on This Island, check out their 1991 Tony Awards performance. Then imagine sixth-graders performing it.
