BWW Reviews: Colorful KING AND I Dances With Audiences

Visiting a different culture is always exciting. New colors. New characters. New traditions. So much to take in. On this count, Sacramento Music Circus's production of 'The King and I' can do no wrong. A second act story-within-a-story based on 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' marvelously displays the exquisite details of Marcy Froehlich's Siamese costumes and picks up the pace and draw of the musical after a lengthy first act. The vocal talents on display are as good as it gets for Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic tunes - some of the most beautiful songs the duo has to offer. And while the pace and dialogue of the California Musical Theatre production suffer slightly during the first act, partly due to a poor script and overstretched dialogue, the emotionally stirring second act succeeds in jogging a tear or two from its audience.
