Once Upon a Mattress (G2K)

Madcap Medieval Musical Mayhem!

CORE Theatrics presents an amazing group of young performers in Once Upon a Mattress. Opens July 7th, 2011!

Once Upon a Mattress is an American musical classic. It opened on Broadway in 1959 launching the career of a young Carol Burnett in the starring role as Princess Winnifred, a hopeless tomboy who has to prove to a suspicious queen that she is worthy of Prince Dauntless's hand in marriage. It was revived on Broadway in 1996 with Sarah Jessica Parker taking on the role of Princess Winnifred, a production that won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.


If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in 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 Larkin's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar 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'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
