AND……Chicago will get to see the show before it hits the great white way!
A musical featuring the songs of Britney Spears is coming to Broadway. Once Upon A One More Time will not be Britney’s life story. Her music will be wrapped around the tales of Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. The fairy princesses will discover modern ideas featuring some of Britney’s biggest hits.
From Broadwayworld.com:
Once Upon a One More Time, a new Broadway-bound musical comedy set to the smash hit music of Grammy Award-winning superstar Britney Spears, will have its world premiere this fall at Broadway In Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre (24 W. Randolph Street). Previews begin Tuesday, October 29, 2019, with an opening night of November 13, 2019, for its limited engagement through December 1, 2019, before heading to Broadway.
Once Upon A Time… Cinderella, Snow White, and the other fairy tale princesses gather for their book club, when – oh, baby baby! – a rogue fairy godmother drops The Feminine Mystique into their corseted laps, spurring a royal revelation. Could there really be more to life than bird-made dresses and true love’s kiss? Set to the songs of Britney Spears, the Princess of Pop herself, ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME is an uproarious, irreverent look at the towering challenges, charms, and choices involved in finding that most elusive of endings: Happily Ever After.
“I’m so excited to have a musical with my songs – especially one that takes place in such a magical world filled with characters that I grew up on, who I love and adore,” said Spears. “This is a dream come true for me!”

Groups of 10+ are on sale now, at 312-977-1710.
