SYNOPSIS: A musical re-telling of "The Princess and the Pea." A fairytale kingdom is under a curse that can't be broken until "the mouse devours the hawk." Queen Aggravain has decreed that no one can get married until Prince Dauntless finds the perfect bride. Many princesses apply, but all fail the test given by the Queen. All is lost until Princess Winifred (a.k.a. "Fred") swims the moat. Can she pass the test? Fun for the whole family
