After a critically acclaimed Broadway smash hit run and record-breaking season at the London Palladium, award-winning musical The King and I comes to Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday 29th October.<\/p>\n
Set in 1860s Bangkok, the musical boasts one of the finest scores ever written, including Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You and Shall We Dance, and features a company of over 50 world-class performers with full-scale orchestra.<\/p>\n
Directed by Bartlett Sher and produced by the celebrated creative team that brought the production to the Palladium, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher whom the modernist King, in an imperialistic world, brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children.<\/p>\n
