Once Upon a Mattress
If you thought you knew the story of “The Princess and The Pea,” this nutty and charming retelling is a musical comedy gem! Did you know that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderfully witty songs and delightfully brilliant lyrics, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical, Mattress is a masterpiece that’s as fresh and funny as ever!
