THE KING & I Comes To Broadway By The Bay 7/16-8/2
Broadway By the Bay will continue its 44th season with a lavish production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King & I. Based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam, this captivating musical is the true story of Anna Leonowens, a British school teacher, who arrived in Bangkok in 1862 with her son at the behest of King Mongkut to teach his own children and wives English and culture.
Considered one of the greatest musical love stories of our time, The King & I is a richly textured and uplifting tale with a gorgeous score that includes the songs "Getting to Know You," "Shall We Dance," and "Hello Young Lovers." Winner of 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, The King & I was proclaimed as "a beautiful excursion into the rich splendors of the Far East" by The New York Times when it opened on Broadway in 1951.
