"Once Upon a Mattress" at Coastal Rep: A Playful Musical Retelling of "The Princess and the Pea"

“Once Upon a Mattress” is a playful musical retelling of “The Princess and the Pea,” where no one in the kingdom can marry until Prince Dauntless finds a “true” princess.

Enter Princess Winnifred, bold, unconventional, and nothing like the delicate royal the Queen demands.

To stop the match, the Queen creates an outrageous test involving a towering stack of mattresses — and the entire castle waits to see if love can outsmart royal sabotage.
