Old world meets the modern world in the lush and beautiful musical, The King and I.
Director Brent Null guides his talented cast through this
award-winning classic. The King of Siam (John Chitambar) arranges
for a widowed schoolteacher and her son (Jennifer Schmelzer and Alex
Rocca) to come to his country and teach Western ways to his many,
many (many!) children. Naturally, the King and Anna immediately
clash. They slowly learn to respect the other as they confront
prejudice between the barbarians and the cultured world, strange
customs (on both sides), and the violent differences between
classes.
Its a thrilling and enjoyable story filled with memorable music
("Whistle a Happy Tune", "Getting to Know You") good for the entire
family.
Musical Director Jennifer Vaughn joins Brent to guide this huge cast
(over 30 actors, singers and dancers!) through one of the greatest
musicals ever written.
