The King and I: Théatre du Châtelet

About the Event

Treat yourself to such treasures as 'Something Wonderful' and 'Hello Young Lovers', in one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's finest musical comedies, at Théatre du Châtelet in Paris.

'The King and I' tells the tale of Anna Leonowens, who is employed to teach English to the many children of the King of Siam. The King's strong personality meets its match in that of the young woman, who seeks to tame his ways.

The 'horseshoe' shape of the historic Théâtre du Châtelet results in partially blocked views from some seats. The different prices take these disturbances into account.
