A compelling and visually arresting first official poster has been unveiled for the upcoming hotly anticipated Lincoln Center Theater revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's beloved classic musical THE KING & I starring Ken Watanabe and Kelli O'Hara.
Of note, the new image was designed by frequent Lincoln Center Theater poster designer James McMullan.
The official description of RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S THE KING & I is as follows: "Five-time Tony Award® nominee Kelli O'Hara (The Light in the Piazza, South Pacific) and Academy Award® nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Inception) star in a magnificent new Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's beloved THE KING AND I. Tony winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) directs this classic tale of a British schoolteacher's unexpected relationship with the imperious King of Siam. Featuring a cast of more than 50, choreography based on the original by Jerome Robbins, and a score of treasured songs including "Getting to Know You," "I Whistle a Happy Tune" and "Shall We Dance?" in their glorious, original orchestrations, Lincoln Center Theater's new staging of THE KING AND I invites you to get to know this inspiring and enchanting musical classic."
