Out Front Theatre’s 11th season opens next week with “Once Upon a One More Time,” a musical interweaving classic fairy tales with the music of Britney Spears.
Powered by the chart-topping hits of the Princess of Pop, “Once Upon a One More Time” turns favorite fairy tales upside down with a fabulous twist! When a fairy godmother goes rogue and plops copies of “The Feminine Mystique” in the laps of classic heroines, the damsels (and a gay prince) embark on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine “happily ever after.”
“Once Upon A One More Time” weaves 23 of 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.”

“This is a great way to kick off the 11th season,” Paul Conroy, the Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Out Front, told Georgia Voice. “It’s so female-focused, so queer-friendly, so ridiculous and silly… This is a good way for people in the queer community and allies of the queer community, regardless of how old they are, to experience something fun.”
“Once Upon A One More Time” opens on Oct. 22 and runs through Nov. 7. Shows are Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets begin at $40.
