Story

WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER MOAT…

Direct from its sold-old, record-breaking New York City Center Encores! run, Once Upon a Mattress returns to Broadway for the first time since 1996. Two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster gives what The New York Times calls an “ebullient, joyful, perfectly goofy” performance as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone alongside royalty of stage and screen, Michael Urie.

Newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), this New York Times Critic’s Pick introduces the unapologetically eccentric Winnifred to a repressed kingdom, where she charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.

Book your tickets now to this uproarious production – “it will restore your fealty to the throne!” (Observer).

"With so much stress in the world right now, this show is the perfect way to spend 3.5 hours. The cast seems to really enjoy both the material and one another. There were several children in attendance at the performance we were seeing. They were laughing and giggling, and any double entendre was lost on the children. Perfect family show and the costuming and staging is really fun. "
