Once Upon a Mattress at Stage West

By royal decree of the Queen, all princesses must pass a series of tests if they want to marry the hapless young Prince. Worse still, throughout the kingdom no one may wed until the Prince finds a worthy wife. Many have tried, all have failed, and the Queen plans to keep it that way. But when a bold and undeniably charming new princess makes a splash, it seems the Queen has finally met her match. Music and mischief reign in a tale where happily ever after has never been more ap-PEA-ling.

Rated: PG, but not a children's show
