Magical Costumes and Characters on Broadway
The King and I is a truly magical Broadway musical. You’ll really be transported back to the 19th Century complete with puffy European-style gowns and their Asian counterparts. The characters are each beautifully portrayed. The show is enchanting yet bittersweet and with the original music by the acclaimed Jerome Robbins, you’ll understand why it was a big hit in the 1950s. The story is of course a classic tale and again in it’s revived form it’ll really make you think about different cultures and traditions. But you’ll also get to laugh a lot. It’s the kind of show you’ll always remember.
