In Once Upon a One More Time on Broadway, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and more are looking for something new to shake up their book club — and suddenly, a fairy godmother brings them The Feminine Mystique. Reading this feminist story inspires them to change their own stories. Who knew their destinies weren’t limited to happily ever after with a prince? Their loneliness ain't killing them no more after these princesses discover all the possibilities for their lives.

Spears is one of the most well-known pop artists of the 2000s, with nine albums, a Grammy Award, and 15 Guinness World Records to her name. Since exploding onto the music scene with the ...Baby One More Time album in 1999, her name has become synonymous with catchy, sexy, and utterly dance-worthy pop tunes. At Once Upon a One More Time, you’ll be dancing ‘till the world ends to more than 20 of Spears's biggest hits, like "Circus," "Oops!...I Did It Again," "Toxic," and "Womanizer."

The Once Upon a One More Time musical has been in the works since 2017, with Jon Hartmere writing the original story set to Spears's music. After being rescheduled from 2019 in Chicago, the show premiered in D.C. at Shakespeare Theatre Company in 2021.

What to Watch For

• Once Upon a One More Time has Spears's blessing — she attended an early staging in 2018 and loved it. Maybe when the show comes to Broadway, she'll go, baby, one more time!
• The Feminine Mystique is a 1963 book by Betty Friedan. The groundbreaking text disproves the false assumption that feminine women only want to be housewives and mothers, arguing they want to work, go to school, and be politically active on their own, too.
• Once Upon a One More Time puts creative, unique spins on Spears's songs to fit the fairytale plot. The motivational anthem "Work Bitch" becomes a song about Cinderella's actual housework, and "Toxic," about an alluring lover, is here about the Narrator and his power to change the princesses' stories — for better or worse.
• Cinderella and Snow White lead the princess pack, but look closely during some of the huge group numbers, and you'll see over a dozen of your favorite princesses and fairytale heroines, like Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Belle, Esmeralda, and lots more!
• Two real-life couples are involved in Once Upon a One More Time: married director/choreographers Keone and Mari Madrid, and longtime partners Jon Hartmere (bookwriter) and Adam Godley (who plays the Narrator). Talk about real-life fairytales!
• Sony Pictures got the rights for a Once Upon a One More Time movie in 2019. There's been no further news since, but we'll scream and shout if a film adaptation happens!
