Ok I must admit that The King And I was my FAVORITE play out of the many I've seen. Why? Call me a fan of Royalty, if you must.
I saw this at a dinner theater in Southern California, and then again at a local Theater where I live now.
The one at the dinner theater was much more elaborate so I'll talk of that one here. We were served our dinner right before the show, so that our waiters could enjoy the show as well and so that they didn't pop in and out in front of the audience. I'll never forget the costumes...they were so similar to the ones in the movie. And the songs!!! "Getting To Know You" I was familiar with, since I'd heard it as a child. "Hello Young Lovers" soon became another song favorite of mine. The one thing this production left out was the part where the siamese performed "Uncle Tom's Cabin" play, but that was ok, since the stage was too small to have that. All in all, I loved the play. Yes, I have the book and the other movie dvd's of it. But those don't compare to the beautiful production of a live action play.
