And it’s called “Once Upon a One More Time” which is set to feature 23 of the pop icon’s songs.

According to theatre owner, James L.Nederlander, he is producing a brand-new musical comedy titled Once Upon a One More Time, featuring 23 songs from pop icon Britney Spears, including most of her big hits, as well as “a couple of deep album cuts.”

The show won’t take inspiration from Britney Spears’ life like many other jukebox musicals. Instead, it will use her back catalogue to populate a story based around a book club made up of classic fairytale princesses. Fans now cannot wait to see their favourite princesses namely Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Snow White and Cinderella taking on the same stage and singing Britney’s famous songs.

Britney Spears reportedly attended some of the readings about the musical.

Can you believe that this album was released 20 years ago today??!! I can’t. It’s definitely been the journey of a lifetime, full of ups and downs, but I’m grateful for every single moment of it all. Getting to know you all over the years has been such an incredible experience, and has made this all worth it. Thank you for your support from 20 years ago, all the way to today. I am blessed ❤️ #20yearsofbritney

A press release said that the lives of the princesses in the show have changed in an unexpected way after they read Betty Friedan's groundbreaking book The Feminine Mystique given by a “rogue fairytale godmother”.

Jon Hartmere, who is responsible for writing the story, revealed some tiny details about the plot. He said,

The musical will be directed by Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Keone and Mari Madrid. The show is set to have a production this fall in Chicago before heading to New York for an expected Broadway run in 2020.
