CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — Broadway In Chicago brings yet another hit to the James M. Nederlander Theatre with "Once Upon a One More Time." Tickets are now on sale for the endearing musical, which features a new kind of fairytale set to the anthems of the iconic Britney Spears.
The plot opens with a group of your favorite fairytale princess gathering for their book club. They read together from the only book they know, "Grimm's Fairy Tales," but are growing tired of the same old material. When Cinderella wishes for a new story, her fair godmother appears with "The Feminine Mystique."
Now, these princesses are confronted with a whole new narrative. Is there more to life than princes and bridesmaid dresses? The women's newfound independence needs to be set to an empowering score, so who other than pop princess herself, Britney Spears?
