Once Upon a Mattress (Broadway) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if See it for Sutton Foster’s tremendous talent and energy. She steals the show. Music and costumes nice. Suitable for children.

Don't see it if You don’t like musicals or silly stories.

See it if Foster is a joyous clown; her smile alone lights up the room & has u grinning too. Breaker is magnetic. Urie's cute in a whiney 1 note part.

Don't see it if Gasteyer's fine in an annoying role. Unlike most shows, Act I is superior. Act 2 largely stumbles along filling time but largely unnecessary Read more

See it if Sutton Foster at her best and the rest of the cast was great.

Don't see it if you expect a deep, meaningful show or don't like slapstick. I usually am in that category, but these are once in a lifetime performances.

See it if You love Sutton Foster. She's fabulous, as always.

Don't see it if If you don't love Sutton Foster or silly and light comedy musicals

See it if you like Sutton Foster - she performs a unique and entertaining Princess Winnifred. Plus a funny but good performance by Ana Gasteyer.

Don't see it if you want a memorable score. This ain't it - never was. Shows strength is the dated but entertaining story performed by a talented cast.

See it if U want to see a talented cast in a mildly entertaining musical

Don't see it if U don’t want to be disappointed that the entire cast is wasted on a dated musical and mediocre book

See it if Foster, Urie, and Gasteyer are amazing! lots of laughs

Don't see it if you don't like silly fairytales, love stories, awkward couples, overbearing mother characters
