Once Upon a Mattress at Historic Canton Theater

This outrageously hilarious musical is based on the fairytale The Princess and the Pea.

Many moons ago in a far off land, an overbearing queen declares that no one in the land may wed until a worthy bride is found for her son. Princesses come from far and wide, but none can pass the impossible tests the queen presents them with, that is, until the 'shy' Princess Winnifred arrives and excites all in the castle with her quick wit and boisterous personality. Will she pass the queen's test? Will Lady Larkin and Sir Harry ever be able to wed? With catchy tunes and fun dance numbers, this show is full of shenanigans for the whole family to enjoy.
