SPEARS is an original musical that chronicles the life of Jesus Christ, telling the story through the hit music of Britney Spears. Creator Patrick Blute, 23, and his creative team are holding a funder’s preview on November 7th at the Snapple Theater. The musical tugs at the heartstrings of America’s lost twenty-somethings, calling on familiar hits such as “Stronger,” “One More Time,” and “Crazy,” to describe the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Oh Christ? Brtiney?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
I love this! I don't want to see a Britney jukebox musical or a Jesus musical, so best to make that one thing. It does seem hard to keep the crucifixion somber and dramatic with Jesus telling the guys with the hammer to "Hit me, Baby, One More Time!" though...
I wonder how long they've got till Britney's team kills this. Larry Rudolph is no joke and usually you can't get within a hundred yards of Britney material.
