    Thank you for bringing The King and I to Melbourne. I took my three children ranging in ages from seven to seventeen and we had a fantastic time. A week after the production and we are still humming the tunes! My daughter watched the Yul Brynner version on the video the next day and pronounced the stage version much better! Fantastic singing and keep up the good work! Thanks to Jeanne Pratt and The Production Company!

    Thanks Iris,
    We staged Mack & Mabel in 2001 with Caroline O’Connor and John Diedrich in the starring roles.
    We hope you enjoy Season 2011.
