Britney Spears, once a juggernaut of pop music, now has little more than ironic value in many circles. Tell someone that you're going to see something called Britney Spears: The Cabaret and they're going to look at you strangely and ask "why?”. There's still a draw for old fans (that is, largely women roughly the same age as Spears herself), and she still sells, but the incredibly public life led by Britney has rendered her a modern curio.

Britney Spears: The Cabaret is not a tribute to Spears as such, but rather an examination of a fragile personality that has been buffeted from all sides and repeatedly pushed to breaking point and back again. As Spears, Christie Whelan begins her act tongue in cheek, eventually affecting a complete nervous breakdown in front of the audience.

It's something special.
