Do you like fairy tales? Are you a princess, or do you know one? Have you seen “The Princess and the Pea?” Well, if you thought you knew the story, you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?
Do you want to know the full story? Then come join us as Bowling Green High School Choral Activities presents “Once Upon a Mattress!” Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some sidesplitting shenanigans.
