Love it. I guess the question now is which theater will it take

Do we think this is going into the Marquis?

Most likely yes! "Once Upon A One More Time" was supposed to open later this year when I asked a few members involved in the production back in May/June but there has been no updates ever since. Perhaps we'll get some confirmation soon

@FeldmanAdam Got an email today pitching me to invest in "an original new musical" based on the music of Britney Spears. An ORIGINAL NEW MUSICAL.

It's coming to the Marquis in May 2023! Tickets go on sale December 5th, but it looks like there are already some presales.

I prefer this poster to the previous one...

I love that they borrow the butterfly motif that Britney used early in her career.

Justin Guarini, Briga Heelan and Aisha Jackson will star in the upcoming musical “Once Upon a One More Time,” reprising the roles they originated in the show’s Washington, D.C., tryout.

The musical examines the world of beloved fairy tale characters and the lives they lead when the storybook is closed; when Cinderella discovers a copy of “The Feminine Mystique,” she changes the course of her fairy tale kingdom. Guarini will play Prince Charming, Heelan will star as Cinderella and Jackson will take the stage as Snow White.

Justin Guarini starring in a Broadway musical scored with Britney Spears songs is just about perfect.

Justin Guarini was THE absolute best part of this show in DC. The show is ready-made for high school licensing but it could/should be a star-launching platform for him.

I'm going to assume that because they are annoucing these three as reprising their roles from the tryout, that the rest (or most of) the cast will be new to the show?

Kinda surprised they’re sticking with Heelan as Cinderella. Her acting/comedic timing was great in DC, but her singing left a bit to be desired. I also thought they would’ve tried to get a bigger Broadway name for the role. Oh well, I guess they’re not really banking on the cast to sell tickets. The music is the star.

Is this really the time for a Britney musical, considering her most recent struggles?  She'll most likely have nothing to do with this show.

Heelan‘s comedic timing was oh so good in this. Going with a standard big-belt Broadway actress would have been a massive mistake. I can’t wait to see this again.

Ah, right, I forgot there are no Broadway belters with good comedic timing.

[chrishuyen]

Posted: 2/16/23 at 11:38am

I could be wrong but hasn't Britney commented on the show already?

Also I just love the flex of having a black woman playing Snow White, excited to see Aisha Jackson again.

Maybe years ago?
But realistically, all it will take is one of her unhinged Instagram rants about how this show is exploiting her without her control, etc.

Yeah. Pure cringe. The masses won't care but the die hard Britney fans will have an issue with her not being involved in this.

Justin Guarini? Really???? Oh come on. There’s tons of legit bway performers that could play his part and blow it out of the water. Whhhhhhhhy does he keep getting cast? Enough of these American idol rejects

“ Ah, right, I forgot there are no Broadway belters with good comedic timing.”

 

you really think you have something here huh, by all means proceed. What I meant was is she is a very interesting leading lady, and I think her skills are an asset to the role which doesn’t require a massive voice.
