Upper School Musical: The Hello Girls | Laurel School Performing Arts

The Story

Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince, and help the rest of the kingdom to the altar? For, after all, a princess is a delicate thing.

Carried on a wave of wonderful songs and hilarious antics, this rollicking spin on the classic tale of The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans for all ages.
