About the show
The iconic musical comedy that’s forever woven into the tapestry of theatre history and probably being performed at your local high school right now – is back on Broadway for the first time since 1996. Two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster stars as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone alongside royalty of stage and screen, Michael Urie. Direct from its sold-out New York City Center Encores! run and newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Once Upon a Mattress sets Winnifred, an unapologetic free spirit, loose in a repressed kingdom, where she charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.
