THE KING AND I celebrates its many Tony Award victories!

Lincoln Center Theater revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's beloved classic musical The King and I starring Ken Watanabe and Kelli O'Hara recently took home several 2015 Tony Awards including Best Revival Of A Musical, Best Actress In A Musical, Best Featured Actress In A Musical and more and a brand new promotional video showcasing the "grand, glorious" sights and sounds of director Bartlett Sher's new production is now available to view.

In a recent interview about the production, Sher revealed, "The beautiful thing about Rodgers & Hammerstein is they are undervalued for how innovative they were in musical theatre for trying things that no one else had tried."

Furthermore, Sher shared, "It's pretty impressive what they were on to as artists."

"They were willing to pushing the form ahead," Sher concluded.

In the new promotional video, Kelli O'Hara, Ken Watanabe, Ruthie Ann Miles and more can be viewed performing standout moments from the memorable musical, including "Shall We Dance?", "Something Wonderful" and more, set to the sonorous sounds of the Richard Rodgers orchestral score.

The official description of RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S THE KING & I is as follows: "Tony Award® winner Kelli O'Hara (The Light in the Piazza, South Pacific) and Academy Award® nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Inception) star in a magnificent new Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's beloved The King and I..

Featuring a cast of more than 50, choreography based on the original by Jerome Robbins, and a score of treasured songs including "Getting to Know You," "I Whistle a Happy Tune" and "Shall We Dance?" in their glorious, original orchestrations, Lincoln Center Theater's new staging of The King and I invites you to get to know this inspiring and enchanting musical classic."
