ABOUT ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME:

A hilarious satire of bureaucracy, capitalism, and climate catastrophe… it’s a musical about pee, but it’s way deeper than that. And… it’s pretty timely.

Powered by the chart-topping hits of the undisputed Princess of Pop, Once Upon A One More Time turns our favorite fairytales upside down with a clever twist! When a fairy godmother goes rogue and plops copies of The Feminine Mystique in the laps of classic heroines, the damsels embark on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine “happily ever after.”

Once Upon A One More Time weaves 23 of Britney Spears’ smash singles—like “Crazy,” “Oops!…I Did It Again,” “Circus,” “Lucky,” and “Toxic”—into “a big, modern, musical dance party, with Britney’s beating heart at its core.”

"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

“Born to make fans happy.”

-New York Times
