A musical album based on the discography of Britney Spears is scheduled to make its debut on Broadway in 2023 under the title "Once Upon a One More Time." On Friday, the producers James L.

Keone and Mari Madrid

Hip-hop choreographers Keone and Mari Madrid directed the fantasy film "Once Upon a One More Time," which features reimagined versions of well-known characters from children's stories. The musical mixes hundreds of Britney Spears songs, including "Lucky," "Circus," "Oops I Did It Again," and "Toxic," to retell the stories of Snow White, Cinderella, and the Little Mermaid with a feminist perspective. It is until Betty Friedan, who plays the fairy godmother, offers "The Feminine Mystique" as their next creation read that a royal realization occurs: there is more to life than bird-made garments and the kiss of true love.
