Multi-Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical The King and I is returning by popular demand to Grand Opera House, Belfast as part of its new international tour.
Running from Tuesday June 20 to Saturday June 24 the production is considered one of the greatest musical shows from the golden age of musicals.
Starring the West End’s Annalene Beechey and Broadway’s Darren Lee, The King and I is often acclaimed for having one of the finest scores ever written including Whistle a Happy Tune and Shall We Dance.
This particular production will feature a world-class company of over 50 West End and Broadway performers as well as a full-scale orchestra.
The King and I is the fifth musical by the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It is based on Margaret Landon’s novel Anna and the King of Siam, which is in turn derived from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s.
Showtimes range from Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30pm along with matinees on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 2:30pm.
Tickets for the show are priced £53 – £23 and are available from
