The Show: Once Upon a Mattress is a comedy and fantasy musical about a swamp princess named Winnifred the Woebegone who wants to marry Prince Dauntless. Many moons ago in this far off place, the truly terrible Queen decreed no couples can marry until her gloomy Prince Dauntless finds a bride. Who can be a royal princess? No one, if the queen has anything to say about it. A kingdom-wide search brings the less-than-regal Princess Winnifred who captures the prince’s heart. The Queen goes on a mission to come between her son and his soulmate in this retelling of the classic story, The Princess and the Pea. Enjoy a musical comedy with side-splitting shenanigans for an evening of “happily ever after”! The musical features songs that are both hilarious and romantic.
Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
