This rollicking retelling of the classic "The Princess and The Pea" is set in a cursed kingdom gone Goth with a feisty princess, who insists on being called Fred.
It sings its way through twists and turns of romance, mistaken identity, a silenced king reduced to playing charades, and the plotting of a control-freak mom.
In the end you'll find yourself confronting the really big question: "Is there a prince or princess inside each of us?"
