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.

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.
