Created as a vehicle for the original Mrs. Anna, Gertrude Lawrence, THE KING AND I has become known as the centerpiece of Yul Brenner's career, for his powerful performance as the King. He won a Best Supporting Tony Award for his performance. In the subsequent film version, he received the Best Actor Oscar for playing the king Of Siam.
THE KING AND I is filled with Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpices such as 'Whistle A Happy Tune,' 'Getting To Know You,' 'Something Wonderful,' 'Hello Young Lovers,' and the showstopping 'Shall We Dance.'
