In 1959, Broadway witnessed the debut of two rising stars: Mary Rodgers, who unveiled her stunning musical score, and Carol Burnett, who captivated audiences with her portrayal of the spirited Princess Winifred, affectionately known as "Fred." Now, over six decades later, theater luminary Sutton Foster (renowned for her role in The Music Man) graces the City Center stage, Foster breathes new life into Once Upon a Mattress, infusing it with the same contagious energy and joy that defined its original production.

This updated rendition unleashes an unapologetically free-spirited Princess Winifred upon a kingdom stifled by repression, as she enchants and transforms those around her through sheer willpower, honesty, and the support of her friends.

Featuring beloved tunes such as "Shy" and "In a Little While," this uproarious adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea" promises to deliver both timeless enchantment and fresh delights to audiences.
