A local theatre in my area is going to present a production of Annie next week, and I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Tony-winning actress Karen Ziemba, who’ll be starring as Miss Hannigan.

The Britney Spears-themed princess musical Once Upon A One More Time is delaying its Chicago run from this fall to next spring, where it will play from April 14-May 17 at the James M. Nederlander Theatre. http://www.playbill.com/article/britney-spears-musical-once-upon-a-one-more-time-delays-chicago-run

As I said before, we do not want or need a Britney Spears jukebox musical. Her songs do not translate well to theater at all. You just wait and see. Mark my words: this will be a disaster on the same level as Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, King Kong, and Gettin’ The Band Back Together. I can feel it in my bones.

I’ve actually done quite a bit of work with Theatre Raleigh within these past couple of years, they’re a great performing arts company.
