Once Upon A One More Time is one of the first Britney Spears-backed projects following the termination of her 13-year conservatorship.
Helmed by directors and choreographers Keone and Mari Madrid, with an original story by Jon Hartmere, the musical comedy is slated to open on June 22 at the Marquis Theater and will feature hits like “Oops I Did It Again,” “Lucky,” “Circus” and “Toxic.”
Ahead of its Broadway run, Once Upon a One More Time attempted a pre-Broadway engagement in Chicago beginning in 2019. Initially set for the James M. Nederlander Theatre in October, it would be delayed, and the opening rescheduled for April 2020. But in March, the pandemic shut down the theater industry, with the show’s producers eventually deciding to cancel the planned engagement altogether.

Real talk: there are two weeks left to see Cruel Intentions: The Musical before it leaves the stage in New York City and You. Need. To. Go. I've already seen it three times and honestly, I would see it three more. It's literally just like the '90s movie with Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair — but with a jukebox musical flair, featuring all of your favorite hits from the '90s. Think "Genie in a Bottle," "Bye, Bye, Bye," and "I'm Just a Girl" fitting perfectly into the plotline all while Sebastian and Kathryn exude their step-sibling lust. But let's be real, the main reason you need to see it is because of the really f--king hot guy who plays Sebastian. Constantine Rousouli is a gift to the world and I don't understand how he is real. Like, just look at this.... A post shared...
