I saw The King and I last May and June. I had no problem with Watanabe (he is a fine actor) and enjoyed the show very much both times, and particularly loved Miles and Park. Kelli O'Hara was very good, sang well, but I just wasn't thrilled by her Anna. I saw Carolee Carmello in the part a few years ago and she was much more lively and believable. The orchestra and ensemble were all fine. Would return to the show with a new Anna.
