The King and I: Tuesday 6 August to Saturday 10 August

RODGERS & Hammerstein’s The King and I has captured the hearts of millions with its charming story of the British governess brought into the court of Siam to tutor the King’s many children.

Her western sensibilities clash with the ruler’s Eastern ways but over time, Anna and the King stop trying to change each other and begin to understand one another.

The unique love story is told with one of the most glorious and unforgettable scores ever written. The much-loved songs from the show include The March of the Siamese Children, Shall We Dance, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Hello Young Lovers and the unforgettable Getting to Know You.

Produced for Chequer Mead by Company of Friends, all proceeds will go to the auditorium refurbishment fund.
