A rollicking spin on a classic fairy tale!

Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, Once Upon a Mattress is a comical story about a queen who goes to great lengths to test the women looking to marry her son, and the unexpected princess who's up for the challenge. Featuring a bevy of songs both hilarious and romantic, this musical take on a timeless story provides lots of laughter, fun, and one iconic pea.|
