Carol Burnette moved up from her original role as Princess Winifred to play the Queen, and Tracey Uhlman was a great pick to take on the role of Princess in this musical based on the story The Princess and the Pea.
If you pay attention to the lyrics, you find some wonderful things, like The Swamps of Home. The Swamps of Home are beautiful ... when viewed from a distance.
Of course, the big fun number is "I'm in Love with a Girl named Fred". It's madcap and simply funny. If you don't find yourself singing along with the chorus I can't help you. ;-)
It's kind of a shame Tommy Smothers has the role of the mute King, his comic delivery would have been perfect throughout.
I enjoyed the original back in the day, and my wife and I just enjoyed this revival.
