The musical comedy features music by Mary Rodgers with lyrics by Marshall Bearer who brought audiences songs like “Shy” and more theater fan favorites. After opening off-Broadway in 1959, Once Upon a Mattress moved to Broadway later in the year, where more than 240 performances were put on at several theatres including the Neil Simon Theatre (formerly the Alvin Theatre).

The musical is a humorous adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea” and follows Prince Dauntless, whose domineering mother Queen Aggravain has declared he is required to marry a “true” princess. When the ungainly Princess Winnifred falls for the Prince, she must compete for his hand against his judgmental mother's wishes. The original Broadway production featured an all-star cast that included Carol Burnett, Joseph Bova and Jane White, with Burnett earning a Tony Award nomination and the show earning an award for Best Musical.
