Once Upon A Mattress

November 22 - December 29, 2024

Family friendly - Fairytale - Funny

Prince Dauntless’s outspoken Queen mother and silent King father decree that no one in the kingdom may marry until their son finds someone sensitive enough to be a true princess. Will goofy, awkward Winnifred the Woebegone from the swamp finally be the one to pass the seemingly-impossible test?

In this laugh-out-loud musical version of The Princess and the Pea, Once Upon a Mattress redefines what it takes to be a princess. Perfect for the whole family, this hilarious tale zany enough to launch the Broadway career of Carol Burnett celebrates the uniqueness in all of us.
