A new musical that re-tells the story of Jesus Christ and only features the music of Britney Spears is being developed. The show is currently being workshopped and a 'funders' preview' will be held on Thursday (7th November) in New York.
'Spears the Musical: The Gospel According to Britney' will feature several of Spears's songs, including '(You Drive Me) Crazy', '...Baby One More Time' and 'Stronger', to describe the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is reported that no lyrics have been changed and no words are spoken.
Writing on the musical's official website, creator Patrick Blute says: "These are Britney's lyrics. These are Jesus Christ's images. The Britney Spears you see is not Britney Spears. Remember that. The Jesus Christ you read is not Jesus Christ. These are manifestations. Accounts through the media, through the words of followers, of friends, of foes, of villains, of heroes, of liars, of biases."
He continues: "It's a falsehood that people believe fame and fortune create happiness. That all 'deaths' receive a resurrection. I hope this project will show you otherwise through the power of listening and the power of forgiveness."
