Britney Spears Musical 'Once Upon a One More Time' to End Broadway Run

The Broadway musical "Once Upon a One More Time," featuring the songs of Britney Spears, will play its final performance on September 3. Despite approval from Spears and plans for national and international productions, the show failed to resonate with critics and Broadway audiences, reporting low capacities and grosses. Producers James L. Nederlander and Hunter Arnold expressed pride in the show and gratitude to the cast and creative team, while also hinting at future plans for the musical. The musical follows storybook princesses challenging their traditional narratives and stars Briga Heelan, Justin Guarini, and Aisha Jackson.

Britney Spears' Musical Vision: A Fairy Tale, Not a Bio-Musical

Britney Spears initially approached producers with the idea for a musical based on her song catalog, but specifically not a biographical one. The result is Once Upon a One More Time, a jukebox musical that tells the story of fairy-tale princesses whose eyes are opened by wage inequality and a copy of Betty Friedan's 1963 novel The Feminine Mystique. The musical, which finally made its debut on Broadway after being delayed by the pandemic, provides Spears with a revenue stream from the production as well as any future touring and licensing income.

Britney Spears' Feminist Jukebox Musical: Her Idea, Her Inspiration, Her Approval.

Britney Spears' musical Once Upon a One More Time, which opened at Broadway's Marquis Theatre, was her idea, but she didn't want it to be biographical. The musical is based on her song catalog and fairy tales, princesses, and storybooks. The show's producer and book writer credit Spears for the initial idea and input. The musical was delayed due to the pandemic and Spears' conservatorship battle, but it finally premiered in December 2021. The underlying rights agreement for the musical provides Spears with a revenue stream from the Broadway production as well as any future touring and licensing income.

Britney Spears' Musical 'Once Upon a One More Time' Receives Mixed Reviews on Broadway

Britney Spears has wished the cast and crew of the jukebox Broadway musical Once Upon a One More Time good luck ahead of its opening night performance at the Marquis Theatre. The musical comedy, produced by Tony winners James L. Nederlander and Hunter Arnold, is inspired by music performed and recorded by Spears. The show features classic characters like Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid, Rapunzel and more, whose lives are upended by a rogue fairy godmother who decides to drop The Feminine Mystique into their laps. The musical is fully authorized and licensed by Britney Spears, and the license agreement was negotiated, agreed to and signed post-conservatorship by the Grammy-winner in 2022.

'Once Upon a One More Time': A Britney Spears Musical Review

Once Upon a One More Time, a new Broadway musical inspired by the music of Britney Spears, hopes to rethink “happily after after” for the 21st century with the help of Spears’ catchy catalog, Keone and Mari Madrid’s choreography that cracks the musical theater mold, and some over-the-top performances that turn the show into an eye-popping “Circus” that makes up for its flaws with plenty of “Scream & Shout.” While the stakes are ideologically high, the musical fails to reign in the narrative beyond the broad strokes of a well-produced cruise ship revue.
