US Musical (Snow Date)--"Once Upon a Mattress"

Price Auditorium
"Once Upon a Mattress"
Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer
Music by Mary Rodgers
Lyrics by Marshall Barer

If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and the Pea", you may be i for a walloping surprise!  Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab?  Or that Lady arken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the brial alter post haste?  Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?  Carried on a wave of wonderful songs. by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans.  Chances are you'l never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
