The King and I

HELEN GEORGE STARS IN GOLDEN AGE DELIGHT, THE KING AND I MUSICAL
 
Enjoy a big, bold, classic Broadway musical with The King and I, starring Call The Midwife’s Helen George. This Tony Award-winning production of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical plays a limited season at the Dominion Theatre, after premiering on Broadway and delighting audiences on an acclaimed UK tour.
 
In 1862, a young widow and governess called Anna is summoned by the King of Siam to tutor his children. She travels halfway across the world from America with her son in tow and soon finds herself butting heads with her royal employer. As the pair wrangle with cultural differences, a surprising and tender relationship grows.
 
The King and I musical, based on Margaret Landon‘s novel Anna and the King of Siam, is one of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s best-loved shows, which is no mean feat for a multi-award-winning duo whose back catalogue includes hit after hit. Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music are just some of their most famous works.
 
The King and I holds a special place in many theatregoers’ hearts however; audiences will be swept right back to the glamour of Golden Age of Broadway as the sounds of “Whistle a Happy Tune”, “Shall We Dance” and “Getting to Know You” ring out across the auditorium in this heavenly revival, performed by a company of over 50 and a full-scale orchestra.
