About Once Upon a Mattress

WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER MOAT…

Direct from its sold-old, record-breaking New York City Center Encores! run, Once Upon a Mattress returns to Broadway for the first time since 1996. Two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster gives what The New York Times calls an “ebullient, joyful, perfectly goofy” performance as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone alongside royalty of stage and screen, Michael Urie.

Newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), this New York Times Critic’s Pick introduces the unapologetically eccentric Winnifred to a repressed kingdom, where she charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.

Book your tickets now to this uproarious production – “it will restore your fealty to the throne!” (Observer).

"If you want to escape the current world landscape. shake off your troubles for a few hours, this is the show for you. Bubbly, light, fun, colorful... a throwback to the "yesteryear days" of Broadway, this updated version of "Once Upon a Mattress" delights. It's a Masterclass of physical comedy from Sutton Foster, and the goofy poutiness of Michael Urie is familiar and loved. Really, you can't go wrong for a light evening. The material is quaint, the songs are above mediocre (really, that's not a slant...), and you will leave with a smile on your face."

"This play was the most recent of many musicals I’ve seen on Broadway… it measures up to the standard of performance audiences expect! Everyone did an outstanding job. Sutton Foster is just so talented and I kept thinking how much she and Carol Burnett (who originated the role) have in common; her physicality is too funny for words. A great performance! But Ana Gasteyer, who I don’t associate as much with Broadway, blew me away. She was so natural and confident in her performance… and no wonder! She has tons of experience on Broadway and I’m sorry I’ve missed her in the past. (But now I’ve told everyone I know). The remaining male and female members were wonderful, starting with Michael Urie (exceptional in his role) and continuing through the company… I’ll leave someone out if I start naming everyone. What an ensemble! I highly recommend it… great fun!"

"Sutton Foster is a blend of Carol Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore and Lucille Ball. The stage came alive upon her arrival. Great turns by the wizard, jester. Larkin can sing!"

"The music provided energetic pacing for a storyline punctuated by humerous songs and dialogue. Sutton Foster was hilarious and Daniel Breaker was effective in moving the story along with humor and focus. I was surprised that I enjoyed the show as much as I did. Great to see Ana Gasteyer as the villain, as well. Great cast. "
