Music by Mary Rodgers Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, Marshall Barer
Due to an unhappy curse, King Sextimus is unable to speak. Meanwhile, his terror of a wife,
Queen Aggravian, has taken over control of the kingdom. Most importantly, in an attempt to keep
Prince Dauntless single, she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry
her son. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does. Lady Larken
and Sir Harry are extremely disturbed by this fact since Lady Larken is now pregnant with Sir
Harry's baby. Luckily, Sir Harry is able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone.
She instantly catches the attention of Prince Dauntless, and in the end, is able to pass the
Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test. When the Queen still tries to prevent the Prince
Dauntless from marrying, he tells her to 'shut up' which ends up breaking the curse on the king.
Now able to speak, King Sextimus regains his rightful position as leader of the kingdom, and all
is well.
