Rogers and Hammerstein's The King and I, based on the 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon has become a staple in American theatre. The musical tells the story of a Western governess's trip to the household of the King of Siam and the crossing of two vastly different cultures and relationships that emerged from her position.
Currently, the Lyric Opera of Chicago has undertaken the work. Here's a snapshot of the spectacular music and dazzling visualization of the iconic musical:
