But will she shave her head?

Los Altos actor and TheatreWorks regular Molly Bell has quite the cast of characters on her resume: the girl who romanced "Bat Boy," a Victorian-era teacher and the young speller Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre, to name just a few. But, really, what can top portraying Britney Spears?

Bell is playing the Southern-fried pop tart one more time, when she and collaborator Daya Curley bring the musical they wrote back to the Bay Area. "Becoming Britney" had its world premiere in 2008 at the New York Fringe Festival, where Bell won an award for outstanding acting. Now the show is hitting the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, with performances from Oct. 28 through Nov. 14.

A highlight of the PG-13 show, according to the New York Post, is "when Britney, amusingly played by Bell, warbles with husband K-Fed (Keith Pinto) like a trailer-trash Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald." Tasty.

Curley, also a longtime local performer (and, full disclosure, one of the finest comic actors I've ever shared a stage with), directs. Choreography is by Mandy Bell and Lisa Navarro.

Overall, Curley and Bell have this to say about their theatrical creation: "We have something sarcastic and inappropriate to share ... and we don't see why we shouldn't make our annoying, harping, sophomoric voices heard."
