Britney Spears songs empower Disney princesses who meet for their monthly book club as they read from the thought provoking book, The Feminine Mystique
What's Once Upon A One More Time Like?
This musical follows a group of famous Disney princesses, including Cinderella and Snow White, who gather for their monthly book club meeting to read their own personal stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales.
This time though, a rogue fairy godmother comes by and replaced their usual book with, The Feminine Mystique, the book that is known for igniting the second wave feminist movement in the United States in the mid 1960’s.
Featured Britney Spears Songs
Songs from Britney Spears like Oops I Did It Again, Lucky and Toxic are featured during the show and help propel the story forward, empowering the Disney princesses to start to stand up for themselves and carve out their own lives. The show is designed to reach women with the alternative truth about the erroneous ‘Happily Ever After’ story book ending.
Britney Spears Does Not Appear In The Show
Spears is not actually performing in the show although some websites make it seem like she is. Spears did sign off on the use of her song anthems and she vigorously supports the feminist movement that this show empowers.
Is Once Upon A One More Time Good for Kids?
