King and I - Presentation of Children

[pinkishgluestick]

... I don't think any of the kids are actually Asian...?

[WilltheTowelie]

Orchestra wasn't too professional, the king wasn't very good, all of the children turned their backs to the king, Chulalongkorn even turned his back to the king, and the music came too early for him.

[1991MRjesse]

i love the music in this scene.

[aliceskye]

lol.....i am siamese and this is very weird to me @_@

[am1966ath]

@aliceskye The king and I is a invented story how westerners saw siamese in 1860..the real Anna Leonowens was an ugly & demanding lady and King Mongkut did not look like an balded hollywood-pirate..lol

[narniaslan47]

@am1966ath The king wasn't that great and she wasn't ugly. I read the bography on it and he had tuptim killed outside her house to punish her for trying to help the girl.

[am1966ath]

@narniaslan47 Reality is often different from Hollywoodstories..Hollywood make everybody look young and photogenic and different cultures to resemble the garden of Eden. Look at pictures of how Siam and Siamese looked like in the 1860S and you will see another picture.

[dawngoth20]

@narniaslan47 :Realy? Because I thought that The king was going to wip her for trying to escape with her lover/boyfriend.

[narniaslan47]

@dawngoth20 Nope. If you watch Anna and the King, it is more truthful to the story than the musical. She was running away, but her lover was a monk, so she shaved her head and hid with the monks. He didn't realize she was there, but when she got caught, they blamed him saying that the two were planning to run away together. Anna tried to help Tuptim, and to punish her for interference, Tuptim and her lover were burned at the stake, outside Anna's house. The bio was quite fascinating.

[MermaidFansg]

@narniaslan47 He's/She's Talking about King and I.The King tries to wip her but he could not because of the look on Anna's face

[MermaidFansg]

[Alextheorigin]

[katyrick09]

It looks like the Heir Prince came in at the wrong cue, isnt he supposed to come in when the music becomes more dramatic?

[yankeelover6218]

@katyrick09 no he was on time, the kid b4 him came in late

[mollyg8sx]

[hawty109]

[xxbrandon4lyfxx]

my dad was the leader of the guards in royal albert hall 2009 in the king and i

[lrp1995]

Im kinda sad that Chululongkorn wasn't on beat for his bowing. he is supposed to bow very sharp.

[lrp1995]

Its funny to see how you do this. Its so different from the king and i im in.

[Juliaflo]

This was first heard on Broadway on March 29, 1951.

Something in my family happened the day after.

[showersinger34]

i did this show in 2004, and we had the EXACT SAME choreography!

[KILLERHKA]

[msplaced21]

[lrp1995]

i know! Never turn your back on the king!

[Ducksrock1012]

Im Princess Ying Yaowalak. I got soooo excited when I got to hug the King. I have a crush on the guy who plays him at my school. I cried when I got the part. My friend was soo jealous, because she likes him too. I felt soo lucky!

[IHeartParamore13]

LOL! but at ur school, the ages aren't accurate, right? cus if a little girl had a huge crush on a man, it would be pretty creepy

[DisneyRhoslyn]

[blithium]

Seventy-seven now, but he is not married very long, next month expecting three more.

[IHeartParamore13]

[fiyerolvr]

I'm going to be auditioning for this show and was wondering what roles are avaliable for 14 year olds? (and a little older...I'm tall,lol)

[theoctoberexpress]

Probably you'd be in the ensemble, or you would be a wife.

[blithium]

Louis, Prince Chululongkorn, Tuptim, Luhn Tah, the Interpriter, or any extra: Wife, Prince, Princess.

[popcornplaya3]

whats the name of this song?

[Actingstar105]

March of the Siamese Children i think.

[Juliaflo]

It is.

To me there is only one king, the incomparable Yul Brynner.

[IHeartParamore13]

lol completely. he was the BEST. Although I was in a production of The King and I, and our king was pretty spectacular too, if i do say so myself :)

[theoctoberexpress]

We're doing the King and I with the Community Theatre... And there's something in the neighbourhood of 20 children.

I'm a kid herder, one of the wives. :P
