These two-time Tony Award nominees are heading back to Broadway! Tony Award-winning producers James L. Nederlander and Hunter Arnold announced today that two-time Tony Award nominee Jennifer Simard (Company, Mean Girls) and two-time Tony Award nominee Adam Godley (The Lehman Trilogy, Hulu’s The Great) have joined the company of Once Upon A One More Time as Stepmother and The Narrator, respectively.
Simard and Godley join previously announced stars Briga Heelan (Great News, Ground Floor) as Cinderella, Justin Guarini (American Idol, Wicked) as Prince Charming, and Aisha Jackson (Frozen, Paradise Square) as Snow White.
Helmed by internationally acclaimed, Drama Desk-nominated director and choreographers Keone & Mari Madrid (Beyond Babel, Karate Kid), Once Upon A One More Time begins previews Saturday, May 13, 2023, and celebrates its opening night on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at the Marquis Theatre.
Once Upon A One More Time features an original story written by Jon Hartmere (bare, The Upside) that flips the script on your favorite fairytale icons. Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid, and other classic storybook characters gather for their fortnightly book club, when—oh baby, baby! —a rogue fairy godmother grants their wish for a new story, by dropping The Feminine Mystique into their corseted laps. The arrival of this new tome spurs a royal revelation: there is more to life than bird-made dresses and true love’s kiss! The ultimate revisionist fairytale for anyone who yearns to feel “stronger than yesterday,” Once Upon A One More Time weaves the chart-topping anthems of the Princess of Pop herself, Britney Spears – including “Oops I Did It Again,” “Lucky,” “Circus,” and “Toxic” – into a heartwarming and uproarious musical adventure about taking happily ever after into your own hands.
Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Tickets are now on sale.
