The Princess and the Pea

23 Oct – 30 Nov 2024 | KC Arts Centre - Home of SRT

You think you know the story of The Princess and the Pea? Well think again! It’s time to tell the REAL story!

When a bedraggled princess arrives at the palace seeking a bed for the night, the Queen decides to use the Princess Pea Test to ensure she has the ideal princess attributes before allowing her to marry her lovesick son. But this princess is not your typical princess! Instead of spending the night tossing and turning on a mountain of mattresses, she is out beating baddies, defeating dragons, and rewriting fairytale endings.

But the princess has yet to confront her biggest, greenest foe yet—the PEA, a rogue computer that refuses to believe princesses can be heroes or that 'happily ever after' can be redefined. With the prince's inventions and the queen's support, the trio works together, learning not to judge a book by its cover, discover heroes in unexpected forms, and with the support of friends, rewrite their story to create their own happy endings.

Filled with catchy songs, colourful characters, and a ninja fighting princess, The Princess and the Pea is a modern musical re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen's well-loved story full of action-packed adventures and epic escapades.

Creative Captioned (CC) :

Creative captioned (CC) performances are designed to cater to patrons who are Deaf / Hard of Hearing. In a CC performance, there will be text projected on or near the stage that transcribes all auditory elements of the show into written English (speech, music, sound cues, etc). Trained captioners will operate their captions live. Colour contrast, placement, and size of the caption text will be considered throughout the process. Advised by our patrons and Venue team, seating for audience members will be allocated to provide an optimal view of the captions during the performance, and the stage itself.

Singapore Sign Language Interpreted Performance (SgSL):

Sign Language Interpreted performances are designed to cater to patrons who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. In a signed performance, there will be a trained interpreter who will be placed in a visible position on or near the stage. The interpreter will sign all auditory elements of the show using Singapore Sign Language. Advised by The Singapore Association of the Deaf, seating is allocated for each SgSL performance to provide an optimal view to both the show and the interpreter.
