Created in 1944 by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, the musical The King and I is based on the eponymous novel by Margaret Landon. This story is a fictionalised version of Anna Leonowens' life, governess to the King of Siam's children during the 1860s.
The Kingdom of Siam is the former name of Thailand. It was founded in 1350 and it was only in 1939 that the country took the name we know it as today.
The musical tells the story of a young widow, Anna Leonowens, who left England to become the governess for the King of Siam's children. Living in the Royal Palace, she helps the King and his family master the social rules of the west. But their ambivalent and conflicting relationship will force Anna to make a radical decision.
Hailed by critics since its premier, The King and I won five Tony Awards in 1952 including Best Musical. Equally popular with the public, the play has had seven revivals in New York and London. This latest production was nominated for nine Tony Awards in 2015 and won four, including Best Revival.
The King and I is one of the classics from the golden age of American musicals and its score includes hits such as: I Have Dreamed, Getting to Know You, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Shall We Dance and Something Wonderful. The show is the fifth collaboration for the duo of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics and libretto). They are credited with the cult musicals Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific and The Sound of Music. A great classic not to be missed!

Depending on the venue, you'll be offered several ways to get your tickets during payment:
Every venue has been renovated recently with evey seat giving you a good view of the stage. However, the further you are from the stage, the further you are from the magic. The seats marked by a half-coloured circle indicate less good visibility (these seats are often at the back and so you can't see the whole set). We recommend avoiding them when selecting your seats.
We accept most bank cards via our secure payment system (Visa, Mastercard, American Express).
