The King and I starring Lou Diamond Phillips at Starlight Theatre

Starlight Theatre's 2011 season opener, is Rodgers & Hammerstein The King and I. This musical classic pits East versus West in a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting love story. When summoned to Bangkok's Royal Palace in 1862 to tutor the many children and wives of the King of Siam, English widow Anna struggles with the King's barbaric behavior. Over time, however, the two come to understand, respect and even embrace one another's traditions and values.

Lou Diamond Phillips returns to his Tony Award® nominated role of the King of Siam in The King and I. A well-known film, TV and stage actor, Lou's many credits include La Bamba, Stand and Deliver, Young Guns and Courage Under Fire.

Audiences will enjoy showstoppers including "Getting to Know You," "Hello, Young Lovers" and "Shall We Dance?"
