I am hoping this production will start a wave of revivals of this unappreciated classic. With music by Prologue Mary Rodgers, who is royalty, (father ; Oklahoma, Minstrel Andrew Morrisey Sound of Music, and son ; Floyd Collins, The Light in the Piazza), lyrics by Prince David Ball Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer, Once Upon Princess Kirsten Comerford DAVID COLIN DAVID TESS MALIA ALVES NOEL-BALDWIN BALL BARAO BECKER a Mattress opened on broadway in the summer of 1959. The story is a retelling of the Queen Julianne Hobby * Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale , but this late ‘50’s adaptation brings a mid-twentieth century feel to the big band music, and the plight of the single Wizard Keenan Viau young female characters. It follows the classic two-couple pattern of the musical form: Princess Number Twelve Natalia Gracious Lady Larkin and Sir Harry play the troubled romantic pairing, while Princess Winnifred Lady Rowena Jennifer Rooney Lady Merrill Christine Vandenberk and Prince Dauntless are the comic romantic duo. Add to that a host of other interesting MATHIEU KARINA SEAN KATIE KIRSTEN specialty characters, and you have a grand evening of medieval musical delights. Prince Dauntless Iain Stewart BELLEMARE ROSE BERSHTEYN BLAKELEY BROMLEY COMERFORD Queen Aggravain Katie Bromley with the students of the theatre programs at Sheridan College has been a Lady Lucille Malia Becker joy. We were lucky to be led by the genius of music director Stephen Woodjetts, and Lady Larkin Alessia Lupiano dance-wise by choreographer Stephen Findlay. With thrilling design work by Michael Lady Helena Emma Smit Gianfrancesco (sets), David Juby (costumes), Steve Lucas (lights) and Todd Charlton Sir Studley Brent Yorke (sound), I found myself working with people who are the best in the profession. King Sextimus Jordan Till CAMILLE SIMON NATALIA JULIANNE DAVID Everything from the set to the props to the costumes was built by the respective student Jester Kevin Morris EANGA-SELENGE GORDON GRACIOUS HOBBY HOHL crews on site. With so much outsourcing and downsizing in Canadian theatre, there are Sir Harry David Hohl ** very few professional companies that allow a director the luxury to walk downstairs and Princess Winnifred Kyla Musselman stand on a set piece while it is being constructed. Sir Harold David Ball I hope you enjoy your journey back to 1428; and I hope this production gives you that Lady Beatrice Kirsten Comerford Sir Luce Simon Gordon special musical theatre lift that keeps us coming back to these treasures time and time ALESSIA MATTHEW KEVIN ANDREW KYLA again.
