Step into a riotous royal romp with Once Upon A Mattress, the laugh-out-loud musical comedy that tells the story behind the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea! Watch fiery swamp princess Winnifred the Woebegone take on the impossibly picky Queen Aggravain in a battle for the hand of Prince Dauntless the Drab with wit, charm, and uproarious songs — including the tuneful crowd-favorite “Shy.” Brimming with vibrant characters, clever humor, and heart-melting romance, this Tony-nominated classic has delighted audiences for decades.
