East meets West in THE KING AND I, the timeless love story between
a stubborn, autocratic king and a determined governess. Based on the
real life adventures of the English widow Anna Leonowens, and the
best-selling novel, ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM by Margaret Landon,
THE KING AND I is a fascinating tale about a clash of customs. Over
time the governess earns the admiration of the royal family, and eventually
she wins the respect of the king himself. Despite their many differences,
Anna and The King of Siam fall in love. Set in the 1860’s in Bangkok,
the exotic capital city of Siam, the Tony-award winning musical features
ornate sets and costumes and a dazzling score by Rodgers and Hammerstein
that will thrill audiences young and old. Stefanie Powers, star of
stage, film and TV headlines this sumptuous, new production featuring
such memorable songs as “Hello, Young Lovers,” “I Whistle A Happy
Tune,” “Shall We Dance?” and “Getting To Know You.” THE KING AND I
makes a royal entrance into the Carr Performing Arts Centre October
25 – 30, 2005.
JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT with Broadway star Patrick
Cassidy as Joseph and “American Idol’s” Amy Adams as the Narrator
is a rainbow ride through biblical Egypt on the wings of Andrew Lloyd
Webber's (CATS, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, EVITA) uplifting music and the
humor and poetry of lyricist Tim Rice (Oscar-winning lyricist of Disney's
“Aladdin”). This irresistible musical about the trials and triumphs
of Joseph, Israel's favorite son, paints a picture of betrayal and
hardship, prophecy and forgiveness. Patrick Cassidy, fresh from his
Broadway appearance in 42ND STREET, has had a career that spans the
world of stage, film and television. With audiences of over 30 million
people, the hit show “American Idol” has created a new breed of superstar
in Amy Adams. This Joseph cannot be missed at the Carr Performing
Arts Center, January 10 - 15, 2006.
