The King and I

April 22, 2011 - June 5, 2011 - Theatre Building Chicago

Porchlight Music Theatre will present its first Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, The King and I, from April 22 to June 5, 2011. This ambitious project will feature grand storytelling in an intimate setting. Set in Siam in the 1860s, The King and I is the moving story of Anna, an adventurous Englishwoman, who becomes governess to Eastern King Mongkut's many children. Anna tries to help King Mongkut come to terms with the modern world, but he is unable to resist the forces of ancient customs. Featuring a lush score including “Shall We Dance?,” “Hello Young Lovers” and “Getting to Know You,” the original 1951 production ran for 1,246 performances, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical. It spawned numerous revivals and a popular 1956 film version

Music by Richard Rodgers
Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Based on the novel Anna and the King by Margaret Landon
