If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or, that it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderfully melodic songs, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Northern Virginia Players is happy to bring the story of the Princess and the Pea to life in Rodgers and Hammerstein's huge hit musical "Once Upon a Mattress". Great entertainment for all ages! The musical runs for two weekends, May 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th at 7:00pm at New Hope Church, 8905 Ox Rd. Lorton, VA. Bring the family , grab your friends, and join the fun !!!! Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door, if available. For information and tickets please visit our website at www.NVPlayers.com. (For additional questions, please call 703-866-3546.
