We're addicted to this first look from the new Broadway musical Once Upon a One More Time. The show imagines what might happen if Grimm's fairytale princesses got their hands on a copy of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, all set to the hit catalog of the Princess of Pop herself, Britney Spears.

(Original Fairy Godmother), Jennifer Simard (Company, Mean Girls) as the Stepmother, Nathan Levy (Dear Evan Hansen) as Clumsy, Ryan Steele (Newsies) as Prince Erudite, Ryann Redmond (Frozen) as Stepsister Belinda, and Tess Soltau (Wicked) as Stepsister Betany.
