The King And I

The King and I is one of the greatest musicals from the golden age of Broadway – adored by the public and critics alike – with one of the finest scores ever written, including “Shall We Dance?,” “I Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Something Wonderful,” and “Getting to Know You.” Set in the 1860s, The King and I is based on the true story of Anna Leonowens, a widowed schoolteacher from Wales, who travels to Siam to teach the King’s many children. Her effect on the kingdom and the kingdom’s effect on her are the basis of this beautiful and classic musical.
