On this episode, Michael and Anika are getting to know THE KING AND I - the show which introduced "Getting to Know You"! Set in Siam (modern-day Thailand) in the 1860s, the musical follows Anna Leonowens and the King and Siam and the development of their relationship. After many successful Broadway revivals and a popular film adaptation, they dive into the controversial aspects of this Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic and chat through their very personal memories of the show.
