The King and I
After a Tony Award-winning stint on Broadway, Bartlett Sher's Lincoln Center revival of Roger and Hammerstein's classic musical The King and I transfers to the West End’s London Palladium. Telling the story of an unexpected romance between a British schoolteacher and the King of Siam in 1860s Bangkok, the musical features an iconic score, with songs including "Whistle a Happy Tune", "Getting to Know You" and "Shall We Dance?". The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical loosely based on a true story first opened on Broadway in 1951 and has been regularly revived since then. Best known for his extensive film appearances, Ken Watanabe stars as the king, opposite six-time Tony Award-nominee Kelli O'Hara as Anna, who finally won a Best Actress in a Musical Tony Award for this role. Playing a strictly limited season, this magical musical promises to be one of the highlights of the summer with its cast of over 50 performers.
