Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I is on tour, and it’s heading straight for Cincinnati!

Directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, The King and I will be gracing the stage at the Aronoff Center (650 Walnut Street Cincinnati) Apr 10 through Apr 22. Ticket prices start at just $30 and can be purchased online at https://www.cincinnatiarts.org/events/detail/the-king-and-i.

One of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s finest works, The King and I boasts a score which features such beloved classics as “Getting To Know You,” “I Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Hello Young Lovers,” “Shall We Dance” and “Something Wonderful.”

Set in 1860’s Bangkok, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher whom the modernist King, in an imperialistic world, brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children.

This is one performance you won’t want to miss!
