An original theatre programme for The King and I at the Theatre Royal, London, dated 23 December 1953, complete with two used tickets. The cast includes John Harvey, Roy Grant, Timothy Brooking and Muriel Smith.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s much-loved musical tells of English governess Anna Leonowens at the court of the King of Siam, with songs such as “Shall We Dance?” and “Getting to Know You”.
From the first London season, this is a lovely example of old theatre programmes from the 1950s.
