The King and I, one of the great classics from the golden age of musicals, is a glorious, joyful, and sumptuous production that should not be missed.
And luckily for Tyneside audiences, the award-winning revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical played to a packed audience last night at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle as part of a national tour following its record-breaking runs at the London Palladium and on Broadway.
And musical devotees are in for a treat as The King and I has one of the finest scores ever written, including Shall We Dance, Getting to Know You and Whistle a Happy Tune, and seeing the music performed live is truly remarkable. The exceptional production at Newcastle Theatre Royal also features a company of more than 50 talented performers and a magnificent full-scale orchestra.
