Oops! We did it again!
We're back with another pilot production!
Based on the music performed
and recorded by Brittany Spears
Book by Jon Hartmere
Powered by the chart-topping hits of the undisputed Princess of Pop, Once Upon a One More Time, JR turns our favorite fairytales upside down with clever twist! When a fairy godmother goes rogue and plops copies of The Feminine Mystique in the laps of classic heroines, the damsels on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine “happily ever after.”
Once Upon a One More Time, JR weaves Britney 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.”

Audition Materials
What is a pilot production?
We are thrilled to work directly with Music Theatre International and the creators of this musical to help develop this new adaptation. Once a new adaptation is written and workshopped, MTI then selects a limited number of groups to produce the show to make sure everything is perfect before getting released into the licensing catalog. Cast members in these productions get to originate roles in this new version, perform for the MTI executive team and the creative team, and play an important part in guiding the future of this title!
Once Upon A One More Time, JR is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
