“Britney,” subtitled, “a Snarky Musical Adventure,” does get a bit snarky, but mainly with Britney’s mom, who emerges as something of a stage mother from hell, who bought a swimming pool with Brit’s first big paycheck. “And I never saw my dog after that,” Britney says, adding that mom also made her rehearse long beyond the point where her perky blondness drooped, and threatened her with career failure if she reached for even a small slice of pie. The show does not feature Spears songs, but serves up both pop songs in the Britney style — “Millionaire Whore” — and Broadway homage numbers, which are hilarious and delivered with the sort of self-referential humor that will delight musical comedy fans.

Roman received a scholarship to California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), and has lived in the States since (Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco). Two years ago she and her husband bought a house in Rockaway. “It’s the best neighborhood in the Bay Area,” Roman said. “My commute to San Francisco is short and most importantly, we can walk to the ocean in 10 minutes. We are very happy here.”. When Roman was 4 she saw a dance film. “It sold me on dance for life,” the dancer noted. —I didn’t realize dance could be a career until I moved to the United States and got a scholarship.”.
