About the show: If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and The Pea,' you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Roles available: PRINCIPALS: Princess Winnifred the Woebegon (female, mezzo) Prince Dauntless (male, baritone) Queen Aggravain (female, alto) Lady Larkin (female, soprano) Sir Harry (male, tenor) King Sextimus the Silent (male, non-singing) Jester (male or female, tenor) Minstrel (male or female, tenor) Wizard (male, non-singing) Large singing and dancing ensemble including several small speaking roles.
