Theatre Awards UK: The King and I in pictures

The King and I is loved as one of the greatest musicals of all time.  Seen by millions of people across the world since it was first performed in 1951, when it was showered with awards and became the blockbuster Hollywood movie, its glorious soundtrack is still a best seller today.

The heart-warming story of the British governess brought to the court of Siam to tutor the King’s many children is told using one of the most beautiful scores ever written with sweeping melodies such as The March of the Siamese Children, Shall We Dance, I Whistle A Happy Tune, Hello Young Lovers and the unforgettable Getting To Know You.

‘Paul Kerryson’s lush, spectacular revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical… elegant, splendid and admirable’ – The Times
