Thumbs up for "The King and I"

(Originally posted on Shook-isms on 7/13/09)

I offer a tip of my cap to Civic Theatre. I saw their production of Rogers and Hammerstein's "The King and I" at the Tippecanoe County Amphitheatre on Friday night and it was outstanding. There was not one element of the production that was lackluster.

Of particular note were the performances by Rob Spaulding, in the role of the King (Rob also directed the show), Jodie Schlatter as Anna, Shellie Johnson as Lady Thaing and Rashmi Joglekar as Tuptim. I would be remiss in not complimenting the full and rich orchestra under the direction of Andrew King and the beautiful ballet sequence choreographed by Lisa Hendrickson and Sandra Peticolas.

The production runs for another weekend. It well worth your time and the cost of admission.
