you knew the story of “The Prin-
cess and The Pea,” you may be
in for a walloping surprise. Did
you know, for instance, that Prin-
cess Winnifred actually swam
the moat to reach Prince Daunt-
less the Drab? 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 rau-
cous, romantic and melodic, this
rollicking spin on the familiar
classic provides for some side-
splitting shenanigans. Chances
are you’ll never look at fairy tales
quite the same way again. The
show runs Nov. 13 to Dec. 20.
