Once Upon a Mattress, a family-friendly musical fairy tale, comes to Hilton Head High School stage from Tuesday, April 26th through Saturday, April 30 at 7 PM as well as a special 2:00 PM matinee on Sunday, May 1st. Admission is $20 for adults and $10 for students.
Many think they know the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ however they may be in for a gigantic surprise! Most don’t know that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a convincing and immediate reason that she and Sir Harry must reach the bridal altar? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of delightful songs, by turns hysterical and rowdy, passionate and sweet, this romping take on the traditional classic of royal wooing and retribution provides some side-splitting shenanigans. Audiences will never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
Under the artistic direction of Kimberly Guinn, Theater Company Director, the musical direction of Josh Wall, and Choreography of Tori Montgomery, this PG-rated musical showcases the many talents of Hilton Head Island High Schools dedicated student actors and crew members.
Once Upon a Mattress–with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer–is presented through special arrangement with R&H Theatricals (www.rnh.com).
