Once Upon a Mattress

The story begins in a faraway kingdom long ago. Due to an unhappy curse, King Sextimus is unable to speak, and his terror-of-a-wife, Queen Aggravain, has taken over control of the kingdom. Most importantly, in an attempt to keep their son, Prince Dauntless, single, she has devised a test--that only a true princess can pass--in order to win her son. Naturally, the test is rigged so no one can succeed. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does. Lady Larken and Sir Harry are extremely disturbed by this fact since Lady Larken is now pregnant with Sir Harry's baby.

Luckily, Sir Harry is able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. She instantly catches the attention of Prince Dauntless, and in the end, is able to pass the Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test, and all is well. Based on the beloved fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea, Mary Rodgers classic Once Upon A Mattress is a delightful musical that has become a fan favorite everywhere! RATED G
