    Creating Once Upon a Mattress

    Written by Lucas Edwards|
    Video by Lucas Edwards|

    This year’s musical is Once Upon A Mattress, a classic twist on the story of the princess and the pea. It was written with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer and based on a book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer. It aired off   broadway in 1959, and has been a classic ever since. “The show is a very fun, family friendly musical comedy that was chosen because of its charm, and the availability of roles. We have one of the smallest casts ever this year, so our kids have their work cut out for them, but I am completely positive that we will give you a great show! Come out and See it!” -John Lampe

    The play is March 21-24th, and the students work for three months to put together the difficult music, choreography, and acting required of a musical. Mr. Lampe directs the show, calling in help from many of the FOMM (Friends of Morgan Music) members to aid in the production. Here is a small video from our very first rehearsal!
