Short description
Widowed Welsh mother Anna Loenowens becomes a governess and English tutor to the wives and many children of the stubborn King Mongkut of Siam. Anna and the King have a clash of personalities as she works to teach the royal family about the English language, customs and etiquette, and rushes to prepare a party for a group of European diplomats who must change their opinions about the King.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to Rita Moreno, who played Tuptim, the actors suffered headaches all day from the heavy headdresses they had to wear for some of the dances.
- The original play was written for Gertrude Lawrence (1898-1952), and a contract was even signed guaranteeing her the role in the film adaptation. However, shortly after the play’s premiere, the actress was diagnosed with cancer. She died while performing the role of Anna on Broadway.
