A Sublime "King & I"

KenderTheater (@KenderTheater)
The Lincoln Center revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "The King & I" is, in a word, glorious, anchored by the breathtaking Kelli O'Hara who delivers another astounding performance. The cast, staging and direction are sublime.  Nothing here is radically revisionist, but the work is presented in a deeply felt, emotionally resonant way.  This is one of the finest revivals of classic musicals I have seen, joining the esteemed company of Lincoln Center's prior revivals of "Carousel" and "South Pacific."
