"Theater: The King and I; Eileen Brennan Stars at City Center", The New York Times, June 13, 1963, p. 28 Crowned by a white dome covered with hand-painted leaves, the Baptist Bar might not play the part of a chapel anymore, but its dramatic looks are still capable of inspiring reverence. During the day, look heavenward and you’ll see a white halo of daylight flooding through the windows at the top of the dome. Beneath your feet, wooden parquet forms a star that radiates across the room. Most arresting is the bar itself, clad in gold-toned panels that glint like shards in sunlight. It’s a setting that was practically made for champagne, which is served in the hotel’s custom-made coupes. If that’s not your poison, the barmen are on hand to concoct something more in line with your heart’s desires.

In 1861, Mongkut wrote to his Singapore agent, Tan Kim Ching, asking him to find a British lady to be governess to the royal children. At the time, the British community in Singapore was small, and the choice fell on a recent arrival there, Anna Leonowens (1831–1915), who was running a small nursery school in the colony. [2] Leonowens was the Anglo-Indian daughter of an Indian Army soldier and the widow of Thomas Owens, a clerk and hotel keeper. She had arrived in Singapore two years previously, claiming to be the genteel widow of an officer and explaining her dark complexion by stating that she was Welsh by birth. Her deception was not detected until long after her death, and had still not come to light when The King and I was written. [3] Mongkut with Chulalongkorn, dressed in naval uniforms

The King and I opened on Broadway on March 29, 1951, with a wide expectation of a hit by the press and public. Both Hammerstein and Rodgers professed to be worried. The composer complained that most people were not concerned about whether the show was good, but whether it was better than South Pacific. Even the weather cooperated: heavy rain in New York stopped in time to allow the mostly wealthy or connected opening night audience to arrive dry at the St. James Theatre. [52] Margaret Landon, author of the book on which the musical was based, was not invited to opening night. [53] Before Rodgers and Hammerstein began writing together, the AABA form for show tunes was standard, but many of the songs in The King and I vary from it. "I Have Dreamed" is an almost continuous repetition of variations on the same theme, until the ending, when it is capped by another melody. The first five notes (an eighth note triplet and two half notes) of "Getting to Know You" also carry the melody all the way through the refrain. According to Mordden, this refusal to accept conventional forms "is one reason why their frequently heard scores never lose their appeal. They attend to situation and they unveil character, but also, they surprise you." [175]

[5] However, due to unexpected delays and opportunities for further travel, Leonowens was still abroad in late 1868, when Mongkut fell ill and died. Leonowens did not return to Siam, although she continued to correspond with her former pupil, the new king Chulalongkorn.
