Director's Notes

 

Welcome to our production of Once Upon a Mattress! This delightful musical comedy first burst onto the scene in 1959, starring the one and only Carol Burnett. Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, the show reimagines the story with a hilarious twist. This show is a testament to the power of perseverance, individuality, and being one’s true self. Once Upon a Mattress invites us to embrace imperfection, celebrate uniqueness, and, most importantly, laugh a little louder.

Thank you for joining us on this journey to a faraway kingdom. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be enchanted by a story that reminds us that happily ever after often comes with a surprising—and wonderfully absurd—twist.
