Based on the beloved story of “The Princess and the Pea” by Hans Christian Andersen, Once Upon a Mattress revolves around a prince who is determined to marry a genuine princess.

Unable to sleep due to the pea, the woman exceeds the test—proving herself to be a genuine princess, as only a delicate soul could be so affected by a single pea. Therefore she proves that she is a real princess.

This production promises to captivate audiences with its wit and charm.
