A musical featuring the songs of Britney Spears is set to premiere in Chicago later this year.
The show, titled Once Upon A One More Time, will include Britney’s best bangers.
If you’re expecting a musical on Spears’s life, however, you need to think again.
The show will, in fact, use her songs to fit an original plot. Said plot will offer a feminist take on some of the most classic fairy tales, such as Cinderella and Snow White.
Discovering The Feminine Mystique
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it will focus on a group of princesses starting a royal book club and challenging the idea of femininity thanks to a fairy godmother.
The synopsis reads: ‘Once Upon a Time … Cinderella, Snow White, and the other fairytale princesses gather for their book club, when — oh, baby, baby! — a rogue fairy godmother drops The Feminine Mystique into their corseted laps, spurring a royal revelation.’
The Feminine Mystique is the book by Betty Friedan which is said to have sparked the second-wave feminism. How will Work Bitch be interlaced into all of that?
