ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
Directed by Erin Dagon Mitchell
Music Direction by Autumn Levy
Orchestra Direction by Glenn Roose
Choreography by Megan Bladow Addis
Music by Mary Rodgers • Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer
Many moons ago in a far off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred, showed up.
Will she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larkin and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on the tune of wonderful songs, at times hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a “delicate” thing.
