School of Music.
The show opened 21 years ago in New York and
this production will revive some of the character
istics that made the Broadway show so popular.
In addition to both the original costume and
scene designs," the UNL production will feature the
choreography that was conceived by Jerome
Robbins for the 1953 show.
Choreographer's daughter here
In 1953 Yariko Kikuchi was given the job of
realizing Robbins' directions and now in 1974 her
daughter, Susan, has assumed those responsibili
ties here. She has been on campus for a number of
weeks teaching the parts to the dancers and
offering general choreographic direction. ;
Susan Kikuchi has been associated with The
King and I" since childhood. She has played all
the children's and dancers' roles in production
throughout the United States and Europe.
The sets were adopted to the Kimball stage by
the opera program's set designer, Tom Kasker .
Last year Kasker was the designer for the Omaha
Playhouse.
"The King and I" is based on Margaret
London's novel "Anna and the King of Slam."
And English widow and her son are brought to the
Siamese royal court in the late 1860s to introduce
Western customs and ideas to the king's wives
and children. The lines of affection are quickly
established with Anna, and the king's family but
the battle lines are as quickly drawn between
Anna and the king himself.
Authoritarian king
At a time when slaves were being emancipated
in the United States, Anna cannot convince the
king to lessen his authority.
Underneath the struggle of Anna to bring the
king to a social consciousness there develops the
tender love story of Tuptin, one of the king's wives
and his servant LunTha.
The cast also features a dozen fourth, fifth and
sixth graders from Brownell Elementary School
playing princes and princesses.
Anna is played by Lynelle Frankforter and the
king is portrayed by Chip Smith.
,rThe King and I" plays October 11, 12, 18, and
19 at 8. p.m-.a-ndat 3 p.m. on October 13. Tickets
