If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you're in for a surprise. While the king has been cursed into silence, the evil and scheming queen rules the kingdom. She has declared that no one can marry until the prince finds a wife of royal heritage. Despite a final test of his fiancé's bloodline, the townsfolk have their own scheme to ensure that everyone lives happily ever after.

"Once Upon a Mattress" is one of the world's most enduring musicals brimming with whimsical and touching songs that include "Shy," "Spanish Panic," "In a Little While," and "The Swamps of Home."

The cast includes Carla Kaiser Cotrc as the queen, Craig Ross as the king, Sarah Grover as Winnifred, Zach Stailey as Prince Dauntless, Carolyn Lohr as Lady Larkin, Andy Sievers as Sir Harry, Matt Maxwell as the Wizard, Josh Rigo as the Jester and Adam Luhrs as the Minstrel.
