I know it's not on Broadway anymore... but is anyone else around here in love with Once Upon a Mattress?

Oh of course it's not a favorite... it's just a really fun show.

And swiftly requested to... BLOOOOOW..... the trumpet!

I played Sir Harry a couple of years ago in a school production. Great show.

The music is adorable!! I've never seen it though, can't wait till the TV Movie. Great songs for gals like me - character actresses who can't quite sing the best. I auditioned for a revue with Sensitivity. Totally "Rex-Harrisoned" my way through! I adore Happily too!

I'm currently rehearsals for a production of it, playing Dauntless. While the show has never been a favorite, I'm enjoying the experience. It's total fluff, but surprisingly funny fluff, with a score that ranges from downright weird to cute and clever.

It was a good show for my school to do, as there was only one vocally talented male that tried out. He played Sir Harry, and a goofy kid that fit the part PERFECTLY played Dauntless.
I couldn't quite understand why we stuffed Lady Larken's dress to make her look 9 months pregnant when she was only about one...

The score is one of my favourites but I wish the script was funnier.

i was just lady larken!! i agree that the book could be a little better, but the songs are really fun!!

the scenes provide a lot of comedic wiggle room for the wizard..we had an AMAZING wizard who had us rolling on the floor every night. it was great!!

it is an adorable show, but seconding all the others, not my #1

I played the Queen a few years ago - it's a fun show. I adore it.

I'm afraid I MIGHT be whipped for this one...
Anyone else think Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't good for the role?
