Once Upon A Mattress

Once a year the school puts on a musical. For the last three years my daughter has been a part of this musical. This year it was Once Upon A Mattress, adapted from the Princess and the Pea. This actually happened in the beginning of November, I am just late blogging about it.

My daughter didn't want anything posted of her part in the musical. Well I am going to because I am so proud of her, I certainly couldn't get on stage to do it.

She played the Jester, and she rocked. I even have a video of her solo. Everyone that either seen the show itself, or the video thought she did am awesome job. The whole musical was done well.

Here is the start of the show, they are giving the princess a quiz to see if she is a true princess by order of the queen. The townspeople are waiting for the prince to marry, so that they too can get married. No one is good enough for the queen.

 The new potential princess, she swam the moot to get to the castle.

 

The minstrel, the jester and king. The jester is the voice of the king.

The queen talking with the wizard about a devious plan to prove that the princess is not a true princess.

The princess trying to get comfortable, how she did not fall off that thing I will never know. The "pea" must be really distracting. Oh and you can see the feet of the singing bird in the right corner.

And the true end of the story, someone has slipped in a few "extras" into the mattresses. Like antlers, bird cages, shackles...

It was a great play, although I remember the story of the Princess and the Pea, I never expected for that ending.
