Episode Details

In this episode, we discuss Broadway's Once Upon a Mattress, currently playing at the Hudson Theatre. This zany musical comedy stars Sutton Foster as Princess Winnifred and Michael Urie as Prince Dauntless in a hilarious retelling of "The Princess and the Pea." We dive into the show's golden age charm, standout performances, and debate whether the concert-style production fully translates to Broadway. Is this Encores! transfer a royal success or does it fall short of its fairy tale potential? Tune in for our thoughts on this star-studded revival and what it means for the future of concert-to-Broadway transfers.
