The King and I is loved as one of the greatest musicals of all time. Seen by millions of people across the world since it was first performed in 1951, when it was showered with awards and became a Blockbuster Hollywood movie, its glorious soundtrack is still a best seller today.

The heart-warming story of the British governess, brought to the court of Siam to tutor the King's many children, is told using one of the most beautiful scores ever written with sweeping melodies such as The March of the Siamese Children, Shall We Dance, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Hello Young Lovers and the unforgettable Getting To Know You.

The breathtaking new production from Curve Theatre, leicester, directed by Paul Kerryson, is a lavish, grand scale spectacle, with giant gold Buddhas, sumptuous costumes, a chorus of adorable children, acrobatic dancers and live music.

Television credits include Silent Witness, The Mighty Boosh, This Life and Eastenders. Josefina Gabrielle plays Anna, her musical highlights include The Witches of Eastwick, Sweet Charity and the lead in Oklahoma! at the National Theatre.
