Not for the faint hearted… fake Princesses… or those who have trouble sleeping at night!
Set in the Museum of Forgotten Things, three musical curators, tell the amazing tale of the museum’s artefacts including the mystery of a little green pea and how it got there.
Do you want to hear a true story?
Imagine a place where what you see is not what it seems, with forgotten stories and forgotten things.
Do you want to hear an exciting story?
Imagine Princesses who don’t know they are Princesses and a Prince who doesn’t want to be King.
Do you want to hear a happy story?
Imagine a real Prince discovering a real Princess and a story that ends happily-ever-after!
Get ready to meet a demanding queen, a host of wannabe princesses, a girl who is blown into the palace by a gust of wind and an indecisive prince under pressure to find his real princess.
The Princess and the Pea is packed with humour and memorable songs, including a procession of every type of princess you can imagine.
Will our Prince ever find a real Princess or his happy ever after?
