Once Upon A One More Time

Once Upon A One More Time is a musical that reimagines classic fairytale princesses, specifically a book club of Cinderellas, Snow Whites, and Sleeping Beauties, as they discover a copy of Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique." The show blends pop music, including hits by Britney Spears, with a narrative that explores themes of self-discovery and female empowerment in a comedic way. This Sunday matinee at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts offers a chance to see a contemporary musical with a familiar pop soundtrack. It's a good fit for theatergoers who enjoy jukebox musicals and stories with a modern, humorous twist on traditional fairytales.
