I had never heard of Once Upon A Mattress until the middle school I went to put it on a few years ago. I would always mix it up with Monty Python's Spamalot, mainly because both shows take place in a similar time frame (medieval Europe) and there is an important Lady in both that I always mix up (Lady Larkin vs. The Lady of the Lake).
