"The King and I " is the fifth musical by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and dramatist & lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based on Margaret Landon’s novel, Anna and the King of Siam, which in turn is derived from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860’s.
Originally a star vehicle for Broadway veteran Gertrude Lawrence, 'The King and I' became synonymous with Yul Brynner, who eventually played the role of the King an astounding 4,625 times on stage and starred alongside Deborah Kerr in the movie adaptation, winning an Academy Award as Best Actor.
