ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME On Broadway - Opening Night Reviews — Page 3

MemorableUserName said: "I see BWW currently has the Isherwood WSJ review as mixed, but this really does read as a rave to me.

Phrases like "dizzy but enjoyable goof", "The show, with a somewhat cumbersome framing device, begins", and "then spring to life haphazardly" should be clues that this isn't a rave. He also calls the story "cluttered". He does have some nice things to say, but he's definitely not gushing.

‘Once Upon a One More Time’ review: Britney Spears’ Broadway show is awful

https://nypost.com/2023/06/22/once-upon-a-one-more-time-review-britney-spears-awful-show/"

I for once agree with NY Post. This show is a hideous failure, offensively bad. Still puzzled how was this even allowed on Broadway...

“No offense but I didn’t think the straight dude from the Post would rave about this show..

This isn’t a show for a bunch of stuffy critics. They need to get some TikTok and Influencers and celebs to spread word of mouth. Sometimes ya need a happy-before-ya-go type show”
 

This is for the girls and the gays and it’s fully self aware of that for sure. It’s got a clear identity right down to the merch. Which a lot of shows have been struggling with lately.

I think us girls and gays deserve way better than this incoherent hot pile of cr...p though. 

After these reviews, will it even make it to September?

Feel free not to attend. 

"So funny, smart and brilliant" - Britney Spears

There's the pull quote. That's it.

Yup! This show needed the Britney endorsement so much more than it needed any review and now it clearly has it! 

negative reviews are just mad Britney Spears is now the queen of broadway with 3 shows featuring her work.

These reviews are better than the expected ones and adding Britney's endorsement I think it has a lot of potential to do better at the box office

I thought there would be more negative reviews but frankly, these are better than what I was expecting from a campy musical. For Oleksinski from the Post, I honestly think he has less taste in theatre than Jesse Green from NYT. Again, I’m not saying this show should have raves, but let’s be real here, this by no way is the next musical sensation. I’m just glad people like it and are willing to go and see it. I too might see it just for the fun of it. I love Britney Spears’ music. Every now and then, we could use a show that can put a smile on our faces and just have fun. Congrats to the cast and creatives on their opening! 

All over the place.

But I must admit, I do love Elizabeth at NYT.

She is really smart, fair and funny. Wish she would review more shows on Broadway. 

I thought I had posted NT Theatre Guide but maybe not?
