NEWS FROM THE STAGE AND THE BIG SCREEN
The King and I press launch
We spent a wonderful morning celebrating the return of smash-hit musical sensation The King and I to London’s West End with a press launch event held at the prestigious Savoy last month.
Check out these gorgeous photos of our leading lady Helen George alongside our wonderful cast.

Helen will be reunited with her co-star Broadway and film actor Darren Lee, who played The King on Broadway, as she returns to the stage to reprise the lead role she played earlier this year to sold out theatres across the UK. Both have received rave reviews for their performances.

The King and I opens at London’s Dominion Theatre in January 2024. And don’t forget to catch Helen in the Christmas special of Call the Midwife on Christmas Day on BBC One!
