About the Show: In a far-off kingdom where no one can marry until the prince finds a bride, the search for a “perfect” princess has become downright impossible—until a bold and unconventional swamp princess arrives to shake things up. Packed with catchy songs, quirky characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition is a playful twist on the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. Bursting with energy, heart, and hilarious surprises, this charming musical is fun for the whole family and proves that sometimes the most unlikely hero is exactly what a kingdom needs.
