The King and I November 15, 2007

The bigscreen version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical classic, starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr.

After the death of her husband, Anna Leonowens moves from England to Siam with her son Louis to become a teacher for the children of the king of Siam. She finds Siamese customs to be quite different from English ones, which brings her often in conflict with the king. However, after some time they find themselves getting along much better.

Broadway on a Budget was created in response to a strong audience request for more “Broadway shows” at the Grand. Of course, touring Broadway theatre is both too expensive and too elaborated to be successfully presented in our intimate theater. Our solution? A series of Broadway movie-musicals shown on the Grand’s big screen… in short “Broadway on a Budget.” Just like “Screen Scene” audience members are invited to stay after the movie for a brief afterglow featuring snacks and beverages.

All seats $4, includes afterglow. Rated G
