Once Upon a Mattress
Broadway mainstay Sutton Foster stars as the assertive Princess Winnifred in Mary Rodgers and Marshall Barer's charming 1959 musical take on "The Princess and the Pea," which moves to Broadway for a limited run after a successful outing in City Center's Encores! series earlier this year. Lear deBessonet (Into the Woods) directs and Lorin Latarro choreographs; Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) provides a modern comic punch-up to the original book by Barer, Jay Thompson and Dean Fuller. The talent-packed cast includes Michael Urie, Nikki Renée Daniels, Brooks Ashmanskas, Will Chase, Daniel Breaker, David Patrick Kelly and Ana Gasteyer as Foster's villainous prospective royal stepmom.
