Did anyone here happen to see the King and I, during it's 1978 revival when Angela Lansbury and Michael Kermoyan ( 2 weeks only ), took over for Yul Brynner and Constance Towers while they went on vacation?
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

I wish I could have seen it... too bad I wasn't alive yet.
Wow, if only someone recorded that, it must have been amazing!

I don't know if there were any color images produced -- I'm pretty sure that's the same imagine (minus the text of course) that appeared on the Playbill, also in black and white (I used to have a copy of it; I gave it to a friend).

Posted: 2/19/08 at 10:34pmOh, Angela's version of "Getting to Know You" is by far my favorite out of all of them!
"Light the candles! Get the ice out! Roll the rug up, it's today!"
#18re: Lansbury: King and I.
Posted: 2/20/08 at 12:42amEthan Mordden points out that when Angela did this stint that it was the first time since Gertrude Laurence originated the role that the "Anna" had more star power than the "King".

Posted: 2/20/08 at 1:32amIs it true she had the famous Getting to Know You dress re-designed because she didn't think the strips flattered her?

Posted: 2/20/08 at 12:37pmI wonder what happened to the shoes she were during the production.
PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.

Angela was wonderful.
Anyone else have the terrific recording of Julie Andrews and Ben Kingsley doing it. That would be a dream cast.
One thing people forget is that Gertrude Lawrence brought the idea to R & H. Another fact is that Mary Martin suggested Yul Brynner for the role. He has been in Lute Song with her and was a TV director at the time.
