Principal casting has been announced for the Broadway revival of the 1959 musical “Once Upon a Mattress,” which will play The Hudson Theatre (141 W 44th Street) from July 31 through November 30. The production will be directed by Lear deBessonet.

The show features music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and a book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer, which has been adapted by Emmy Award winner Amy Sherman-Palladino.
