"The show itself is a musical comedy gem . . .. Mary Rodgers' music deserves the ultimate compliment: It withstands comparison to the work of her legendary father, Richard. And Barer's lyrics are nothing short of brilliant." —Michael Portantiere, TheaterMania.com

2005 TV Remake Trailer (starring Carol Burnett and Tracey Ullman) / NYT review
If you thought you knew the story of The Princess and The Pea, you're in for a walloping surprise! A hilariously nutty comedy that turns a familiar fairy tale on its head, this rollicking laugh-fest was a Broadway smash that launched the career of comic genius Carol Burnett (the very first Princess Winnifred). Not only that, Mattress garnered "Best Musical" Tony-Award nominations for both the 1950s' original and the 1990s' revival. Come see why! Full of side-splitting shenanigans, this merry musical is the perfect choice for family summertime fun! 18 talented teen actors shine in a host of unforgettable characters like gullible mama's boy Prince Dauntless the Drab, who can't seem to find a princess that pleases his melodramatic and manipulative mom. To make matters worse, no one in the kingdom can wed till he does. But never fear—with a little help from the melodic Minstrel, the joyful Jester, and King Sextimus, an unlikely princess manages to win the prince from under his mama's meddlesome nose.
Music by Mary Rodgers
Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer
