“I’ve always been SHY/ I confess that I’m SHY,” Jackie Hoffman sings as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone in the Transport Group’s revival of “Once Upon A Mattress.” But when has Hoffman herself ever been shy?

“That’s a great question,” she says in the video below, in which she attempts to answer, in-between rehearsing the song “Shy” by Mary Rodgers.

The revival of the musical runs from November 23, 2015 to January 3, 3016 at Abrons Arts Center, co-starring Lypsinka.
