ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME
Based on the music performed and recorded by Britney Spears
Book by Jon Hartmere
August 6, 7, 8 @ 7:00pm

Powered by the chart-topping hits of the undisputed Princess of Pop, Once Upon A One More Time turns our favorite fairytales upside down with a clever twist! When a fairy godmother goes rogue and plops copies of The Feminine Mystique in the laps of classic heroines, the damsels embark on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine “happily ever after.”
Once Upon A One More Time weaves 23 of Britney Spears’ smash singles—like “Crazy,” “Oops!…I Did It Again,” “Circus,” “Lucky,” and “Toxic”—into a big, modern, musical dance party, with Britney’s beating heart at its core.
Starring: Reyna Abdool, Alexandria Baker, Bodhi Beilby, Leslie Bertram, Leilani Galaviz, Madeleine Gonzalez, Caleb Kohler, Marisol Martinez, Avery Massey, Mason McCarthy, Mia Mojica, Harper Purdy, Odhora Reza, Grant Roelofs, Elliana Roelofs, Hollie Rossiter, Savannah High, Abbie Stephens, and Elyssa Walker
