The King and I comes to life on Whitefish stage for the holidays

Whitefish Theatre Company presents the family classic The King and I as their holiday show at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.  

This renowned musical opens with a sneak preview night on Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.  Performances continue on Dec. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and on Dec. 7, 14, and 21 at 4 p.m.

With some of the greatest songs written for the American musical theatre, a timeless plot, and beautiful dance numbers, Tony-award winning The King and I is a holiday outing not to be missed.  This classic musical by Rodgers & Hammerstein has captured the hearts of millions with its charming story of Anna, the British governess brought into the court of Siam to tutor the King's many children. Once within the splendor of the Royal Palace, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story.  With one of the most glorious scores ever written, much-loved melodies from the show include:  “Getting to Know You”, “I Whistle A Happy Tune”, “Hello Young Lovers”, and the unforgettable “Shall We Dance.”  This spectacular production promises to be the musical event of the holiday season.
