Auditions – The King and I
- May 5th 2011 7:30 pm
Last week the country celebrated the wedding of our future King, Prince William to Catherine Middleton but this week we have news of a king from a little further a field.
Tudor Musical Comedy Society celebrates 50 years in the business by returning to Sutton Coldfield Town Hall for a lavish production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “The King & I” from 27th September to the 1st October 2011.
This popular musical is based on the true-life story of the former King of Siam & his relationship with his children’s governess, a widow called Anna Leonowens. Anna left England & travelled with her son Louis to Bangkok in 1862 to teach the king’s 82 children & ended up also teaching the king about life in Victorian England so that he could be seen as a ‘modern’ monarch.
The show is full of well-known songs including “Getting to Know You” which features in the current advert for popular kitchen company Magnet, “Whistle a Happy Tune” & “Shall we Dance?” and Tudor is looking for adults and children to join the company for this production.
Rehearsals begin this Thursday 5th May at 7.30pm at St. James’s Hall, Mere Green, in Sutton Coldfield with open auditions to follow shortly. If you would like to join the company for this show or just want more information contact chairman Nigel Gaunt on 0121 241 5772 or 07944 7766831.
