Britney has a stake and earns profits from new Broadway show 'Once Upon A One More Time' based on her music

[pablitonizer]

A very interesting article by New York Times clarifies any doubt on who's getting profits from the musical "Once upon a one more time." 

Summary: 

Quote

Still an exceptional earner 👏 Britney started promoting 'Once Upon a One More Time' on Broadway, a musical based on Britney's iconic catalog. 

A couple things you need to know: 

1) Britney  has a stake in the show's royalties through musical licensing and even submitted notes to shape the show's choreography, The NYTimes reports.

2) According to one of the show’s lead producers, Britney signed the contract *after* the conservatorship ended and that no one else in Britney's camp has a deal to receive profits (in 2019, Britney's father negotiated the initial deal and was set to bank 7.5% of the production's net profits. Larry Rudolph was slated to net a $30,000 check as an executive producer plus $1500 per week 🤡🤡).

"Good luck to the hardworking cast and crew of “Once Upon a One More Time” on opening night tonight," Britney said of the show. "I’ve seen the show and it is so funny, smart and brilliant!"

 

More info:

"Initially, production papers from late 2019 listed a company called Shiloh Standing, Inc., which was started by Spears’s father shortly after the creation of the conservatorship, as being entitled to 7.5 percent of the production’s net profits, according to documents filed with New York State’s attorney general’s office. Larry Rudolph, Spears’s former manager, was also slated to receive funds, including a $30,000 executive producer fee, plus $1,500 per week."

"But plans for a short run in Chicago in 2020, followed by a Broadway transfer, were scuttled by the pandemic, the show was put on hold and, in that time, Spears’s world was transformed. Leslie Papa, a spokeswoman for the show, said that Spears’s contract was negotiated and signed in 2022, after the termination of the conservatorship, and provides all compensation directly to her."

 

"Hunter Arnold said Spears has a stake in the show’s royalties through music licensing proceeds, in addition to an underlying rights deal, which he said was carved out in recognition of her role in popularizing the music, even if other lyricists and music producers own much of the rights to the songs. He declined to specify the exact payment structure for Spears, and it is not included in government filings thus far."

"Hunter Arnold, one of the show’s lead producers, said Spears signed the contract herself after the conservatorship was terminated and that no one else in Spears’s camp currently has a deal to receive profits."

 

"A representative for Spears did not make her available for an interview but confirmed the timing of the most recent deal and added that the singer had provided notes in response to videos of the Madrids’ choreography."

This is AMAZING! The shows is getting great reviews, I love how they connected the fairytale story with feminism and her songs, it’s really genius

Amazing! I’m glad she had the  time to sign, plan for, and choreograph all of this between the court battle and her alleged m*** addiction!

It's a great show, and I'm glad Britney is profiting. I wonder why she doesn't promote it more though?

Everytime I see an ad for it on Facebook, many of the comments are asking if Britney is really okay with it.

[Politik]

I hate musicals but this I actually want to see. Is it only in NYC? Or are they on tour? 

[Switchy]

I'm so glad he dad and Larry got cut out of the deal! I'm sure they were fuming!

[Zach F]

This looks great, I would love to see it! 

[Tetris]

Well, I guess that confirms she most likely will not be at opening night. Kind of wild. But, I guess, also to be expected in this - her continued no-fücks era. She really has become a recluse, huh. 

[easy]

[KrisJ]

She should post about it so it gains more traction and $$$

[KrisJ]

She fully choreographed this: 

 

[warioaddams]

And that's great, for the first time in her career she makes this kind of decisions. I hope she stays like this moving forward. 

I want her to be the next Taylor or Beyonce and get hands on in her career.

[Stannedforever]

I love to hear this

And I love that they decided to make celebratory musical instead of another "Britney ever after" crap. I hope that Britney also gains royalties from the possible film adaptation that Sony has been planning since 2019

Suddenly, that full show audio from YouTube is gone..     

[GlitterRain]

This show looks like an amazing time! So happy to know that Britney is profiting! 

[PlatinumB]

I want to believe... 

I will probably end up seeing it now lol

I'm so glad about this report, I love musicals and was wondering about this one. So happy she's getting the moneys and been somewhat involved in the development...even if she's not so keen to shout them out on ig or anything. From what I've seen it looks like a good spirited, fun time tbh.

Exactly what I have been trying to say. It was never "her" rights to begin with, its the producers and writers songs, and the labels, but of course its pretty standard you offer the "voice" behind a contract. 
I dont think she gets anything for "&Julie" either..
