Were you asking for another remake of The Princess in the Pea? Doesn’t matter, because you’re getting one -- and this one turns the fairy tale on its head. Queen Aggravain enacts a law that no marriages can happen until her immature son finds his princess bride -- and the only thing stricter than that are the tests by which she’s judging the princess candidates. Along comes Winnifred the Woebegone, who hails from a swamp and may be as immature as her would-be husband. Does she have a shot? And will a swamp princess even know what a mattress is? Driving the story and dialogue are several humorous songs, thanks to music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by Marshall Barer, with book credits for Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer. Several famous actors got their first Broadway (Carol Burnett) or television roles (Elliott Guold) thanks to the many adaptations of this adaptation. Get some respite from the July sun and have a laugh.

Shows start on July 12.
