Theatre Performance Once Upon a Mattress 2024 Promo Image

Once Upon a Mattress

Theatre Building, Mainstage Theatre 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, WI

Once Upon a Mattress, a comic masterpiece based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, propelled Carol Burnett to stardom as Winnifred the Woebegone, a simple swamp princess hoping to win the hand of the prince despite all odds. This hilariously wacky romp is filled with witty, charming, and wonderfully romantic songs and dance numbers composed by Mary Rodgers. It serves as a delightful bookend to a season that began with a neglected gem by her father, Richard Rodgers.
