Once Upon a Mattress Opens Thursday, March 11
March 05, 2010
If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
Once Upon a Mattress, the MVTHS 2010 Operetta, will open this Thursday in the high school auditorium. Tickets are on sale at the box office in the auditorium today, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 3:30 to 5:30. They will also be on sale 6:30 to 7:00 the night of each show. The show will be performed Thursday, March 11 through Saturday, March 13 at 7:00 PM. All seats are general admission. Doors will open at 6:00 PM.
