The
timeless classic, Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I,
has captured the hearts and minds of millions with its charming
story of the British governess brought into the court of Siam to
tutor the King's many children. Once within the splendour of the
Royal Palace, beautifully recreated within the magical setting of
the Royal Albert Hall, Anna and the King grow to understand one
another and learn about each other's cultures.
Fully staged in the round, this spectacular production plays for
just twenty performances. The unique love story is told with one
of the most glorious and unforgettable scores ever written. The
much-loved songs and sweeping melodies from the show include: The
March of the Siamese Children, Shall We Dance, I Whistle a Happy
Tune, Hello Young Lovers and the unforgettable Getting to Know
You.
The King and I is lavishly brought to life by Jeremy Sams
(The Sound of Music, Noises Off) and Robert Jones (The Sound of
Music, On The Town), with musical direction by Gareth Valentine
(Cats, Miss Saigon) and played by the Royal Philharmonic Concert
Orchestra. It stars one of the UK's best-loved stage performers-
Maria Friedman, alongside Daniel Dae Kim- star of the hit TV
series Lost, this promises to be a memorable musical not to
be missed.
