I've never seen it, nor do I know anything about it, but I laughed out loud at the title. I'm sorry, I'm sure it'll be great. (but the title is still funny.)

I <3333 Mattress.

I'm actually in it right now. I go to dress rehearsal in an hour, and we open tomorrow!

I'm the Nightengale of Sanmarken, and I get to sing a lulluby to Princess Winniefred. In a bright pink bird suit covered in pink feather boas no less. haha

anywho, it's such a funny show, and I <3 our cast.

Definately audition for it next year!

 

[catycatcat4]

cool can you tell me more about it?

 

[pacificnorthwester]

That is one of the best Musicals Ever! It's great that you get to do it!

 

[catycatcat4]

bump and
can any one tell me about the songs the queen has to sing?

 

[JulielovesDisney]

My school did that play a few years ago. I didn't go see it though. But good luck and I hope you get your part!!

 

[DisneyGirl421]

The queen only sings one song... It's called "Sensitivity"

It's a funny song, and the way we blocked it, she ends up 'hitting' the wizard every few seconds.

 

[pacificnorthwester]

If you want a very over the top part with lots of songs you should go for Winefred.

 

[catycatcat4]

thats why i dont want to be whinefriend to many songs that are im an alto so im hopeing i can do the queen

 

[catycatcat4]

i found the lyrcs to her song i see my self doing this

Queen:
Sensitiviy, Sensitivity
I’m just loaded with that.
In this one word is the epitomy of the aristocrat
Sensitive soul, and sensitive stomach, sensitive hands and feet;
This is the blessing, also the curse of being the true elite.
Common people don’t know what exquisite agony is,
Suffered by gentle people like me!
Just get your hands off me!
Think up a tricky test for that wretched moat-swimming princess.
Wizard:
Madame may I suggest, Maybe we ought to…
Queen:
Don’t take all night, I’m not well, I need my rest.
Not that I’ll ever sleep on that lumpy mattress, oh God my back!
Sensitivity bane of roalty, that bed’s a torture rack.
Oh I hate to sound grumpy, but my nerves are so jumpy.
I am sure I could feel any lump, even if it were under the mattress
And small as a pea!
That’s the answer! Under the mattress… We’ll test her tonight!
One tiny pea beneath one thick downy mattress. Oh God! You’re bright!
Any genuine princess would feel it, if she doesn’t she’s through!
Get the tiniest pea and order one mattress, No! Make it two!
Wizard:
Why not five?
Queen:
Ten I think would be plenty.
Better still, make it twenty.
And to play it safe, in the event even that’s not enough to make sure she sleeps
We’ll give her a soothing sedative, won’t we? You can whip up a drink.
Something stunning; Ah…Oh, but your devlish.
I love the way you think.
She’s insensitive, so insensitive; She’ll fall asleep no doubt!
God, but you’re clever! Brilliant! A genus! You are divine! Get Out!

thanks the onley problem we have is geting guys to be in a musical

 

[pacificnorthwester]

That is always an obstacle. We have a bunch of big choir guys at our school and a professional Tap dancer(who I used to have a crush on) So were praying to recruit some good guys.

I was in this play about 4 weeks ago actually for a summer STAGES camp. It's a really fun play, and I was cast as Queen Aggravain, so I hope I can give you the information you're looking for.

In my opinion, the Queen and Princess Fred were the heavy acting roles. The Princess sings about 3 songs, i think, but their all really 'fun' songs, a lot to memorize, but once you got it it wasn't to hard to sing.

The Queen's one number, Sensitivity, (And realize that this is the only number, say bye bye to the group numbers) I found pretty hard to sing. It's written in 5/4 time with little spacing, so If you skip a word or have trouble with breath control (as I did) you can easily lose a sentence. But, I'm not saying it wasn't enjoyable! After I got it, It quickly became a cast favorite, and a crowd pleaser, because also, in our choreography, I ended up hitting the wizard with my queenly gestures.

So all in all, go for it! I found it to be a blast, and that was crunching it in in six days!
