"The King And I"

East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting tale of enormous fascination. It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first musical play based on a true story was also the first project brought to them by Gertrude Lawrence, who wanted to play the leading role. Her idea for a musical came from the highly popular novel Anna & the King of Siam by Margaret Landon which in turn was based on the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, a 19th century Englishwoman who became governess to the children of the King of Siam. All of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s choices for the King turned down the part. It was at an open audition that a young dancer whom Mary Martin had recommended walked out onto the stage, sat cross-legged on the floor and won the part....that man was Yul Brynner.
