SYNOPSIS:
What can happen when a traditional fairytale princess falls in love with a local Japanese prince? Just about anything imaginable! Fun and adventure abound when Princess Alexis journeys from the kingdom of Allyria to the local Hawaiian-Japanese Yamamoto kingdom where she meets the prince of her dreams, and must pass a most unusual test. Throw in a boisterous, fun-loving band of pirates and the outrageous adventure begins! With book by Lisa Matsumoto and music and lyrics by Roslyn Catracchia, The Princess and the Iso Peanut is an adaptation of the familiar fairytale The Princess and the Pea, with a multi-cultural twist like only Lisa Matsumoto can do.
