    King and I was thrilling.

    by Alliac on 1/11/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The Walnut Street Theater production of "The King and I" was amazing. The sets, costumes, and orchestra were dazzling. The acting by all was superb. The main charachters who sang solos had magnificent voices. The choreography of "Little House of Uncle Thomas" was brilliant. When I left the theater, I was speechless; the play was that moving.

    King and I

    by Rue56 on 1/10/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Absolutely wonderful! The show was enjoyed from the time the curtain when up until it went down. I saw this show as a child with Yul Brynner as the King, and was concerned that he would be a very hard act to follow...I was not disappointed.

    Shall We Dance

    by amazingtheatrereviews on 1/10/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The cast was beyond great, the music was phenomenal, the children actors were amazing and the stage scenery was simply awesome. I remember this story with Yule Brenner and Debra Carr and this cast resonated all the memories of the first time I ever saw The King and I. Kudos to all involved!! Great production.

    Great night out and a wonderful production! The place was sold out and it was a great crowd. Too many people were let in late and we were obstructed from the first song from people going to their seats.

    King and I - Outstanding

    by KMHS on 1/9/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Every aspect of this performance was outstanding. Set, costumes, acting, seats, and perhaps most importantly for someone with a hearing aid, the sound was very clear - just right.

    This production was very good, the only complaint I have is that the people sing too quickly and without enough emotion and vibrato other then that it was a great production
