The King and I Tempe Tickets
Delve into the rich culture and history of Siam, now Thailand, with this classic tale of Anna Leonowens, a widow from Wales, who is commissioned to teach the King of Siam’s wives and children to speak English in Bangkok in the early 1860s. This live performance puts you in the middle of Anna and the King’s clashing cultures, beliefs and wills, and ultimately guides you to the characters’ mutual understanding and respect. You will be delighted by the colorful backgrounds and traditional and flamboyant royal garments of the time. This Rodgers and Hammerstein production debuted on Broadway in 1951 and has had multiple runs with the most recent being from April 16, 2015, through June 26, 2016. To date, The King and I has won multiple Tony Awards and has grossed over $60 million worldwide.True Story…
The stage and film adaptations of The King and I were based on the book Anna and the King of Siam written by Margaret Landon in 1944. The book was based on the real Anna Leonowens’ memoirs of the time she spent in Bangkok teaching the royal family to speak English. It has been speculated that some of her memoirs have been exaggerated to make them more interesting. Though the premise of the book is based loosely on actual events, many of the smaller details have been sensationalized for the purpose of entertainment.Where can I buy The King and I Tempe tickets?
