Once Upon a Mattress

Music by Mary Rodgers
Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Book by Jay ThompsonDean Fuller and Marshall Barer

Once Upon a Mattress flips the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea into a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud musical packed with heart, humor, and unforgettable songs. In a kingdom where no one can marry until the prince finds a bride, the pressure is on—especially when a bold, outspoken, and completely unconventional young woman arrives claiming to be a “true princess.”

Through outrageous royal tests, sneaky schemes, and one legendary mattress, the show pokes fun at fairy-tale traditions while celebrating individuality, confidence, and love in all its forms. With catchy music, clever comedy, and roles that shine for performers of all types, Once Upon a Mattress is a playful reminder that sometimes being yourself is the bravest—and funniest—choice of all.

Perfect for families, students, and anyone who loves a smart twist on a classic, this musical promises big laughs, big energy, and a happily-ever-after you won’t see coming.
