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.

Elisabeth Vincentelli
"Magnificent. A sweepingly romantic production. How good to be getting to know the show all over again."
