Michael Urie will reprise his Off Broadway performance opposite Sutton Foster in the upcoming Broadway summer transfer of Once Upon A Mattress, the Mary Rodgers musical newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino.
Urie and Foster will continue their roles when the Broadway production moves to Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre in December.
As he did in the recent New York City Center’s Encores! production, Urie will play the good-hearted Prince Dauntless, who becomes smitten with the free-spirited commoner Winnifred (Foster), much to the chagrin of his not-so-nice queen mother.
Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
Directed by Lear deBessonet (Into The Woods), Once Upon A Mattress begins previews Wednesday, July 31, at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre, opening Monday, August 12, and running through November 30. The production begins its four-week L.A. engagement at Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre on December 10, ending its run January 5.

Jonathan Bennett, the Mean Girls heartthrob and star of the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas House franchise, will make his Broadway debut when he takes over the role of Spamalot‘s Sir Robin from Michael Urie on January 23.
Urie, as previously announced, is jumping over to co-star (with Sutton Foster) in the New York City Center’s Encores! production of Once Upon a Mattress. Urie, who got raves for his very funny Spamalot turn, will play his final performance in that revival on January 21; Once Upon A Mattress will run from January 24 to February 4.
Bennett’s limited engagement in Spamalot runs January 23 through April 28. He’s yet another high-profile replacement in the show: Beetlejuice‘s Alex Brightman, as previously announced, takes over the role of Sir Lancelot after Taran Killam ends his limited engagement on January 7.
Continuing their Spamalot performances from the original principal cast are Christopher Fitzgerald, James Monroe Iglehart,...

Way back when, during the production of the first “Star Wars,” Harrison Ford once joked to director George Lucas, “George, you can type this shit, but you can’t say it!”’
“Of course, that’s the year he gets nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay [for ‘Star Wars’ itself]. What do I know, right?” Ford said during an AFI tribute to Lucas in 2005.
For Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, and Julius Onah, the writers currently credited on “Captain America: Brave New World,” they can only hope history repeats itself.
During an interview with Inverse, “Captain America” star Anthony Mackie relayed an amusing anecdote about working with Ford on the upcoming Marvel blockbuster. In the new film, due out in July 2024, Ford steps in to play Thunderbolt Ross following the offscreen death of original Thunderbolt actor William Hurt. The relationship between Ross and Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Captain America,...
