THE KING AND I Theater 11 Zurich (Original English version)

  THE KING AND I is one of the greatest musical works of art in musical history.   The winner of four Tony Awards production after the hit movie "Anna and the King" is full of tragedy, romance and exoticism.    From 19 November to 1 December 2019, the original English version of the theater can be experienced at Theater 11 Zurich for the first time in Switzerland.       Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is a moving, radiant story of East meets West. It is the early 1860s when newly widowed Anna Leonowens and her son, Louis, set sail from their native England for Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand). Anna, still grieving, has taken a position as the schoolteacher for the royal offspring of the King of Siam.   The King is determined to usher Siam into the modern world, and he thinks Western education can be a part of that .  Anna and the King teach each other about understanding, respect, and love that can transcend the greatest of differences. Beneath the fraught, fiercely opinionated, conflict-ridden surface of Anna and the King’s relationship lies one of the most unique love stories in the musical theatre canon.   Theater 11 Zurich, 19 November to 1 December 2019   Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, respectively 19:30\ Wednesday, 18:30 Saturday, 14:30 and 19:30 Sunday, 13:30 and 18:30   Additional Information: www.musical.ch/kingandi Language: Original English version Presale CH: www.ticketcorner.ch , Ticketcorner 0900 800 800 (CHF 1.19 / min., fixed networks) and usual ticket outlets Presale DE: www.eventim.de and Eventim 01806 570070 (0:20 € / call incl.
