If you’re still seeking Amy, you may find her on Broadway.
It has been announced that a musical based on songs by Britney Spears will hit the big stage next year. Entitled Once Upon a One More Time, it features classics like “Oops I Did It Again,” “Lucky,” “Circus,” and “Toxic.”
The show was previously held at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. where it had a sold-out run, prompting its move to New York City. Previews are set to begin May 13 at the Marquis Theatre, with tickets going on sale starting on December 5.
The musical follows a group of fairy tale characters who haven’t actually found their happily ever after. The description on the show’s official website reads: “Every fortnight, when our storybook heroines gather for book club, they always discuss the same book, Grimm’s Fairy Tales — because as far as they know, it’s the only book that’s ever been written. That’s when a rogue fairy godmother drops The Feminine Mystique into their corseted laps. From now on, ‘happily ever after’ will never be the same. It’s the ultimate revisionist fairy tale that’ll make you feel stronger than yesterday.”
Although Britney herself isn’t associated with the production, she previously declared it “a dream come true” to have a musical based on her song catalog.
