Michael Swindle, Director
With a fun twist added, Swindle said the musical itself is actually a remaking of the classic fairytale, "The Princess and the Pea". This musical takes place in an far-off kingdom where a royal proclamation has been sent out by the queen stating that no one will get married before her son does. (Vedha Inampudi)
