Following the highly acclaimed 2009 version of "The Producers" which Newcastle Musical Theatre Company (NMTC) presented at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne in September last year, the company returns for eight shows from 13th September with their production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King & I".
The story is set in Bangkok in the early 1860s and tells the story of Anna, an adventurous Englishwoman hired to serve as governess and tutor to King Mongkut.s many children. Although Anna has many quarrels with the dictator, the two eventually fall in love, and her influence on the King helps to democratize the country.
The company will be holding open auditions for the King.s children and Louis on Saturday 27th February and for Anna and the King on Sunday 7th March at The Theatre Royal, Newcastle.
