The King & I
August 7 - 25
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II
Based on Margaret Landon’s Book “Anna and the King of Siam”
Original Choreography by Jerome Robbins
A lush production of "The King and I" that captures the exotic splendor of 19th-century Siam (Thailand) and the majestic beauty of Rodgers and Hammerstein's timeless score.... (Lorenzo) Lamas makes the part his own, delivering a commanding performance... The King and I is a breathtaking production...
See the magic for yourself. -The Portland Press Herald
There is depth, presence and believability to Lamas' naturalistic approach to his character; complex and a real joy...Rachel de Benedet plays Anna, and does so beautifully...The visuals in this play are sumptuous...There are splendid voices, smart, believable performances, incredible eye candy — all forms, and a story imbued with character rather than caricatures—a real pleasure.
-The Portsmouth Press Herald
It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. East meets west in this dramatic and uplifting tale of this young English widow and her stormy relationship with the King of Siam. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another.
