Sutton Foster Returns In Hit Musical!
New York's hottest musical heads to Broadway this summer with an all-star cast. Stepping back into the fairytale in her role as Winnifred the Woebegone is theatre star and triple threat Sutton Foster. This iteration of the hilarious musical reimagining of Hans Christian Anderson's The Princess and The Pea has been adapted by the Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and promises a barrel of laughs.
What Is The Story?
In a nation ruled by a cursed and mute King and an overly talkative and perhaps terror of a Queen, a ridiculous law is in place. The citizens can only marry once Prince Dauntless has done so, but his meddling mother Queen Aggravian sets everything in her power to stop this from happening as she sets absurd and impossible tests for potential princesses.
