Synopsis:  

Based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, this classical Broadway musical spins the tale of a medieval kingdom's search for a proper princess to marry the hapless Prince Dauntless the Drab. Everyone wants to see the lonely prince engaged – no one can get married until he is. Everyone, that is, except the domineering Queen Aggravain, unwilling to cut the royal apron strings. Enter Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, loud, brave and dripping wet (having swam the moat!). She boldly declares herself a contender for the Prince's hand. But to show she is a true princess, she must prove that she is too delicate to sleep on 20 mattresses if there is even a tiny pea underneath them. The Queen plots a huge party to make sure the Princess will be up all night dancing and be so tired she would fall asleep on a pile of rocks! 

 -Suitable for all ages.
