Answer 3

The original story was "Anna and the King of Siam", but most of us remember the glorious technicolor movie production, of the "King and I" starring Yul Brenner as the king of Siam, and Deborah Kerr as Anna, the school mistress hired by the King to teach his many, many children.  It's based on the true story of a young British teacher who actually taught in the royal courts of Siam (Thailand, these days) and was seriously romanticized and made a musical in the 60's.

Answer 4

The King and I is a musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Its script is based on the autobiographical book written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s.

The Summary

Mrs. Anna Leonowens, a widow from Wales, arrives in Bangkok with her young son to teach English to the children of the royal household. The King eventually honors his promise of a suitable house. He also very much wishes to absorb western knowledge, but is sometimes conflicted over how to reconcile western ways with his own. His efforts to do this, unacknowledged even by himself, are further hindered by his minister, who wishes to keep Western influence out of the court. Anna, thinking that she can no longer be of any use, is just about to leave Siam when she is told that the King is dying. She decides to stay in order to help his young son, Prince Chulalongkorn to rule the people of Siam.

The Author

Anna Leonowens (November 5, 1834 - January 19, 1915) is chiefly famous for being the British governess portrayed in the book and film Anna and the King of Siam and in the musical adapted from it, The King and I. The musical play, based on adaptations of her factually controversial memoirs, provides a fictionalised look at her life in the royal court of Siam (present-day Thailand).

please clarify your question

Answer 6

The King and I is a musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Its script is based on the book Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon. The plot comes from the story written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. Leonowens' story was autobiographical, although its objective accuracy is questionable; in Thailand, the possession of anything related to Anna and the King of Siam or The King and I is illegal, because of the historical inaccuracies about the King of Siam. It then became a movie which starred Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. [1] [2].

The musical opened on Broadway in 1951 and was the fourth hit out of five collaborations for the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It ran for 1,246 performances, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, among other awards. It spawned numerous revivals and a popular 1956 film version.
