CURTAIN UP – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25
“Curtain Up” is our weekly program playing a complete cast recording from Overture to Finale. This week we feature Once Upon a Mattress, a musical comedy with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer. It opened off-Broadway in May 1959, and then moved to Broadway. This show catapulted Carol Burnett to stardom. The play was written as a humorous adaptation of the 1835 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea”.
“Curtain Up” premieres on Friday at 8pm EST with two re-broadcasts – the following Monday at 2am EST and Wednesday at 11am EST. You can listen online here on our website or via apps and devices (Apple iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Echo/Alexa etc.).
