ABOUT ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME:

Powered entirely by the iconic hits of Britney Spears, Once Upon a One More Time is a dazzling, pop-fueled musical that flips classic fairy tales on their heads. When Cinderella begins to question her storybook destiny, she discovers a magical book that introduces her— and the rest of the princesses—to modern ideas about independence, choice, and rewriting your own narrative.

As Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, and more begin to challenge their traditional roles, the land of fairy tales erupts into a joyful revolution set to chart-topping anthems like ...

Baby One More Time, Toxic, Stronger, and Oops!... I Did It Again. What unfolds is a high-energy celebration of self-empowerment, friendship, and the courage to take control of your own story.

Bold, funny, and irresistibly fun, Once Upon a One More Time is a glittering spectacle that blends nostalgia with modern feminism, proving that princes are optional-but owning your power is not. Get ready to dance, sing along, and see fairy tales through a totally new lens.

  • "Perfectly soundtracked by Spears' sparkling discography... transforms the musical into a high-octane concert that will leave theatergoers breathless... Expect to keep on dancin’ long after it ends!”

    -Entertainment Weekly

  • “A big, modern, musical dance party, with Britney's beating heart at its core.”

    -ABC News

  • “Audiences are going crazy for the musical that will have you screaming, 'Gimme, gimme more.'”

    -Good Morning America

  • “Born to make fans happy.”

    -New York Times
