  *It is the early 1860s when newly widowed Anna Leonowens and her son, Louis, set sail from their native England for Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand). Anna, still grieving, has set her sights on a new adventure and taken a position as the schoolteacher for the royal offspring of the King of Siam. The King is determined to usher Siam into the modern world, and he thinks Western education can be a part of that – yet, Anna is horrified at first by many of the traditions that he holds dear. Anna and the King struggle to find common ground. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by rulers of the West, and he takes Anna on as an advisor, asking her to help change his image – if not his actual practice. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King teach each other about understanding, respect, and love that can transcend the greatest of differences. 


The King and I is a musical about getting past differences, and learning to love. The original musical cast starred Julie Andrews with her amazing voice, and I do also recommend this one for classical musicals. Though some people find this musical offensive/Racist, so they hate it, but I don't really find it that way. I think all of the characters in here are all equal human beings. The King and I talks about how this teacher named Anna came to Thailand, to teach his children. I left a song on the top called, "Getting to know You" From this musical if you are interested, and It shows Anna wanting to get to know the children and tell them that getting to know the children is the best part of being a teacher. Honestly I could listen to that song 1 million times, and never get bored of it.
