This magical adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale the Princess and the Pea is full of side-splitting humor and wonderful songs the whole family will enjoy. In a far-off land Prince Dauntless is in search of a wife, and until he finds a woman to be his bride, no one in the land is allowed to get married. It is his mother – the devious Queen Aggravain – who is against any marriage to her son. However, time is running out for Lady Larkin and Siry Harry who are expecting a child at any time. It is a cast of zany characters, including a jester, a minstrel, and the silent King himself, who prove an unexpected visitor, Princess Winifred (nicknamed Fred), is the perfect match for the lonely Prince.
