The King I is another epic by the team of Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers. The musical takes its inspiration from the 1994 novel titled Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon.

For that he hires the attractive Anna Leonowens to come to Siam and teach royal children about that way of life. When Anna arrives in Siam, along with her five year old son Louis, she is shocked to find out that she won't be given a separate house of her own and that she will have to stay at the palace.
