The cast for the world premiere of the Broadway-bound Britney Spears jukebox musical Once Upon A One More Time has just been announced. The show will be set to the hits of the Grammy-winning princess of pop and will star Briga Heelan (Great News, Judd Apatow’s Love) and Justin Guarini (Romeo and Juliet, American Idol) as Cinderella and Prince Charming in the musical’s pre-Broadway run this spring at Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre. They will be joined by the BAFTA nominated Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Outlander) as Narrator, Tony nominee Emily Skinner (Sideshow, The Cher Show) as Stepmother, Brooke Dillman (Superbad, Wrecked) as The O.F.G aka Original Fairy Godmother, Aisha Jackson (Waitress, Frozen) as Snow White, and Mimi Scardulla (We Are The Tigers) and Tess Soltau (Wicked) as Stepsisters Belinda and Betany.
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: could there really be more to life than bird-made dresses and true love’s kiss? With an original story written by Jon Hartmere Once Upon A One More Time promises to be weave such hits as Oops! I Did It Again, Stronger, Toxic and Lucky, into an uproarious, irreverent look at the towering challenges, charms, and choices involved in finding that most elusive of endings: Happily Ever After.
