THE KING AND I
Wednesday, February 28th, 2018
No matter how many The King And I’s you’ve seen, you have almost certainly never seen, nor will you likely ever see one more brilliant than the 2015 Bartlett Sher-directed Broadway revival whose First National Tour has arrived in Costa Mesa to thrill audiences this week and next at the Segerstrom Center For The Arts.
