Set in the 1860s, The King and I is a beautiful and classic musical based on the true story of an English widow, Anna Leonowens, who travels to Siam with her young son to teach the King’s many children. The King is largely considered to be a "barbarian" by those in the West, and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. Through her kindness and persistence, Anna eventually connects with the King, helping to fuel mutual feelings of social understanding, cultural acceptance, and openness. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and respect one another in a truly unique love story.
