For my bday my friend back home sent me this silly movie called 'Once Upon a 
Mattress' which is AMAZING! It's sarcastic, funny and goofy but the songs and acting is great. It tells the story of how Lady Larken and Sir Harry are in love and want to get married, but the controlling Queen, Aggravain won't let anyone until her son, Prince Dauntless finds a 'real' princess. So her and the Wizard create very very difficult (impassable) tests for them to take and no one is good enough, until Princess Winnifred. Although it takes some trickery on the part of the Prince's friends, Winnifred is truly the one for Dauntless. Good stuff! Anyway, this obviously is based on Princess and the Pea and was off-Broadway for a while. It's cleaver and good, check it out.
