A musical retelling of the Princess and The Pea! If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know that the Princess actually swam the moat to reach the Prince? Or that it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess to have a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs and side-splitting shenanigans this is a rollicking spin on the classic fairy tale. You'll never look at fairy tales the same way again!
