Experience Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway, playing at the Hudson Theatre for a limited time only. A beloved musical composed by Mary Rodgers, with a score that put her on the map and proved she more than inherited her legendary father, Richard’s, songwriting chops, Once Upon a Mattress follows Princess Winnifred as she aims to win Prince Dauntless’s hand despite his mother’s obstacles. The queen declares that no one can wed until Dauntless does... while simultaneously making it impossible for anyone to get near her precious son.

A hilarious update on a Hans Christian Andersen tale, Once Upon a Mattress has been a community theatre and high school staple since its 1959 Broadway bow, and now, after decades away, it returns to the Great White Way.

The musical helped make Carol Burnett a star: she originated the role of Princess Winnifred, later played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Now, Foster, Broadway royalty in her own right, takes on the cheeky role. A “joyful” production per the New York Times in a Critic’s Pick review, this new production of Once Upon a Mattress warms the heart, tickles the funny bone, and is packed with hummable earworms. Tickets to Once Upon a Mattress are available now.
