Broadway to again host pop songs of Britney Spears
(Web Desk) – This summer, Britney Spears’ iconic songs will be included in a Broadway production about woke princesses.
"Once Upon a One More Time," featuring Spears’ tunes, including "Oops!… I Did It Again," "Lucky," "Stronger" and "Toxic," will start performances in May at the Marquis Theatre.
Cinderella, Snow White, and the Little Mermaid are among the famous fairy tale princesses who are altered in the musical s original script by Jon Hartmere after reading "The Feminine Mystique," a seminal feminist work.
"Once Upon a One More Time" first played at The Shakespeare Theatre Company, known for its more stately offerings. It will be directed and choreographed by Keone and Mari Madrid. The cast will be announced at a later date.
The temptation to use already proven, popular songs to fuel a musical is an old one, and on Broadway has lately led to shows with music from The Temptations, Bob Dylan, The Go Go’s, Tina Turner and Alanis Morissette.
