Synopsis
“The King and I”—August 21 thru 25—Peppertree
Park, Old Town Tustin
East meets West with dignity in this musical play based
on a true story. In the 1860s, the King of Siam hires an
English woman, Anna Leonowens, to teach his children and
help bring his country Western culture. After a series of
misunderstandings and crises, the King and Anna develop
a mutual respect for each other and each other’s cultures
in a sensitive portrayal that avoids clichés.
The Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts, in association with
LimonCarr Productions, presents a lush staging of this Rodgers
and Hammerstein musical classic as its 7th annual Broadway
in the Park fare. Audience members will enjoy such song
favorites as “Hello, Young Lovers” and “Getting
to Know You.” This is fun family entertainment with
pre-play activities for children and picnicking on the grass.
