Synopsis

Once Upon a Mattress sends an unconventional princess into a whimsical medieval court where winning a prince means surviving his overbearing mother’s impossible test.

With romance, royal panic, and a single pea at the center of the chaos, the musical turns The Princess and the Pea into a bright comedy of love and stubbornness.
