“It Was All A Blur” for the sake of a pun, but the night I spent at Madison Square Garden watching Drake live was truly unforgettable.On Wednesday, July 26, I had the honor of spending my first MSG concert in a VIP suite, with the best, unobstructed views of the “Certified Lover Boy” plus comfortable seating, food, drinks and a swift security check in. This made a huge difference for me, as it was my first time enjoying live music where I didn’t need to shuffle shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers — although, this crowd brought the energy and no-doubt the floor would have been a hype experience to say the least — and struggle to see over the taller patrons that always seem to get ahead of me.

A.D. Amorosi While it is debatable that the life of the newly emancipated Britney Spears is a fairy tale at present, the singer’s catalog of hits surely has the feel of a fable with feminist-forward empowerment. That’s what writer Jon Hartmere and director-choreographers Keone and Mari Madrid use as the basis for “Once Upon a One More Time,” their Broadway twist on staid, storybook romanticism and tired male-centric tropes. With its giddy, surprisingly caustic script and rapier-fast score, this pop-musical course correction (authorized by Spears, post-conservatorship) is built for speed and social awareness. For the Madrids (known for their work with Justin Bieber and BTS) and Hartmere (who penned 2017’s cinematic dramedy “The Upside”), the goal of empowering women, crushing the patriarchy and rejecting servitude to Peter Pan-like princes is no easy task.
