The multi Tony Award-winning production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s THE KING AND I comes to the
Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from 11 April to 15 April as part of a major UK and Ireland Tour.
This gloriously lavish production will be brought to the stage by an internationally renowned creative team
under Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher and
will feature a world-class company of over 50 talented performers and a full-scale orchestra.
Helen George, known to millions for the past decade as Trixie in the hit BBC One series Call The
Midwife, will star as Anna Leonowens. Broadway star and film actor Darren Lee will play the
title role of The King of Siam opposite Helen.
The King and I is a sumptuous, timeless romance from the golden age of musicals, adored by the
public and critics alike – and boasting one of the finest scores ever written, including Whistle a Happy
Tune, Getting to Know You, and Shall We Dance.
Set in 1860s Bangkok, The King and I 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.
Helen George will perform on Wednesday – Saturday
