That makes this probably the most worthwhile production of "The King and I" in years.
Rachel York is absolutely incredible. Good job, Walnut.

Posted: 10/7/11 at 11:03amDear Santa. Please put two tickets, airfare, and a hotel room in my stocking this Christmas. I've been very good this year!

lovesclassics, I know Philly hotel rooms are notoriously small, but would one actually fit in your stocking?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Mel Sagrado Maghuyop (picutred here with Melinda Chua as Kim) will play the King. He was excellent in WST's Saigon and nominated for a Barrymore for the role of Thuy. He is not big in stature, but was fiercely impressive in the role.
The match up of York and Maghuop should be good reason to see this.
