“We left the London Palladium on a bright cloud of music joyous!”★★★★Daily Mail
“Looks and sounds ravishing. Complete rapture”★★★★ Daily Telegraph.
Set in 1860s Bangkok, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna, a British school teacher whom the modernist King, in an imperialistic world, brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children.
With one of the finest scores ever written including Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, and Shall We Dance, and featuring a company of over 50 world-class performers, The King and Iis a testament to the lavish heritage of gloriously romantic musical theatre –it is the greatest musical from the golden age of musicals.
“The screened version of the Palladium run brings a completely new perspective to the show, not only delivering a true reflection oft he live experience, but enhancing it beyond expectations.” BroadwayWorld.com
