I ushered at Center Stage in the Reston Community Center tonight for the musical comedy: Once Upon Mattress. 2.5-hr long yet very entertaining such that I stayed awake regardless my jet lag. I like the dynamic character interactions, comedic timing, and vocal performances from the leads Princess Winifred ("Fred") and Queen Aggravain. The story was about overbearing Queen Aggravain forbids anyone in the kingdom from marrying until her awkward, sheltered son, Prince Dauntless, finds a royal bride. The unconventional, swamp-swimming Princess Winnifred ("Fred") finally won the Prince's heart and passed the Queen's test.
