Disguised as a man, the princess hopes to win his trust and restore his crown, but not before falling completely and hopelessly in love with him. Punctuated by the Showboat’s signature Vaudeville-style musical interludes, this noble adventure of concealed identities, confused affairs, and one confounded love triangle is sure to be the crowning glory of your summer!Tickets available by phone at 651.227.1100 and online through Padelford Riverboats.
