Once Upon a Mattress: a Broadway Musical presented by Teen Actors Guild at the Manchester Arts Center

Think you know the story of 'The Princess and The Pea'? You're 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, 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 come uppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
