Review
This score, given the full velvet touch by a sublime orchestra, contains some of [Rodger s and Hammerstein s] lushest ballads. They acquire freshening nuance and anchoring conviction here. That Ms. O Hara, one of our greatest reinterpreters of musical standards, does so is not surprising. (You ll feel you re hearing Hello, Young Lovers for the first time.) --New York Times
You can t overstate how stunningly beautiful, how achingly well sung this new revival of The King and I is. --New York Post
There are moments in Lincoln Center Theater's ravishing new Broadway production of The King and I (***½ out of four) that may leave you grinning so hard your face will hurt. Then suddenly, without warning, you'll be fighting off tears. --USA Today
