Once Upon a One More Time, featuring music by Britney Spears and a book by Jon Hartmere, reimagines classic fairy tale heroines as they challenge old stories and discover the power of their own voices. The musical blends empowerment and humor with pop-infused spectacle, featuring songs including "...Baby One More Time," "Toxic," "Stronger," and "Circus." The production is presented by The Actors Studio of New Jersey as part of its 2026 mainstage season residency at the Dunellen Theatre, supported in part by the NJEDA's A.R.T. - Phase II Grant Program.
