New York City
The King and I
The King and I will impress with elaborate costumes, striking sets and a storybook romance. Set in 19th Century old world Bangkok prior to Western influences, the King’s many children are governed by the beautiful Anna, who influences the King to consider the Western ways opposed to the current Dictatorship. The menacing King’s Minister and top advisor wants Democracy kept out of the country’s culture. Conflicted, King Mongkut becomes easily influenced as he begins to fall in love with the lovely Anna.
The wonderful score features music you know and love including, "Whistle a Happy Tune," "Getting to Know You," "Hello, Young Lovers" and "Shall We Dance?" Do not miss this extravagant production! The many children on stage will leave you smiling from ear to ear!
