North Central College Summer Music Theatre presents "Once Upon a Mattress". "Many moons ago in a far off place. . ." is how the fairy tale of The Princess and the Pea begins. But that is about the last traditional line from any fairy tale that you will hear in this wonderful musical romp, "Once Upon a Mattress". Originally made famous by the great Carol Burnette playing Princess Winifred, the would-be-bride to Prince Dauntless, this far from typical princess swims the moat to get to the prince, let's fly with an amazing Broadway belt in the song "Shy", and takes the kingdom on a journey they will never forget.
