THEATRE: Once Upon A Mattress
Music by Mary Rodgers
Book by Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller
Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Waterman Theatre, Tyler Hall
“In an era of bigger-is-better theatrical pyrotechnics, Once Upon A Mattress harkens back to an era of simplicity-from-necessity, and its enduring popularity, from the Broadhurst Theatre to high school auditoriums, confirms that there is still appeal in that magic formula.” “Once Upon a Mattress,” wrote the Daily News' Kissel, “shows you can retell fairy tales with wit and sophistication, and, more important, human feeling.”
Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin-off on "Princess and the Pea" tells of royal courtship and comeuppance that provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
Presented through special arrangement with Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatricals
Preview $5; General Public $13; SUNY Oswego Students $7
