Touring with the Stars in a Royal Production

2001
Many kids are intrigued by show business and have had, at one time or another, a desire to be an actor or actress. One of the site's designers has just returned from touring with Big League Theatricals' 1999-2000 National and International Tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I. This multilingual site (in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German) provides tips for kids and information for those thinking of joining the ranks of actors and actresses. Her experiences, plus the experiences of professionals with whom she has worked, provide a glimpse of life on the road. Background information is also provided on, Anna Leonowens and King Mongkut, the historical figures upon which the show is based.
