… However, it wasn't until the Second World War that American musicals produced many urbane and stylish works, and a major change occurred during this period. That is, Rogers stopped working with Hart, who was in poor health, and teamed up with Hammerstein, who had written the book and lyrics for Show Boat, to produce Oklahoma! (1943), Carousel (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), and The Sound of Music (1959). All of these works were set in the countryside or in foreign lands, and appealed more to the serious than the humorous, and sometimes even to sentimentality. … From Leonowens…He taught English to the princes until 1867, and is said to have had a great influence on the boy Chulalongkorn's understanding of Western culture. Margaret Landon's novel Anna and the King of Siam (1945), based on his autobiography The English Tutor at the Siamese Court (1870), was adapted into the musical The King and I, spreading a distorted image of Mongkut to the world. Recent research has revealed that Mongkut was born in India in 1831, rather than in Wales, and that her husband was not a major but a clerk, correcting the previously believed descriptions in his autobiography. … From Robbins…He founded Ballet USA to perform at the Spoleto Festival in 1958 and 1961, but it did not last long, and he returned to City Ballet in 1969. During this time, he also achieved success in directing and choreographing musicals such as The King and I (1951) and Fiddler on the Roof (1964). His choreography incorporates elements and techniques of jazz, show and ballroom dancing into modern dance, and requires high levels of technique from the dancers. … *Some of the terminology used in "The King and I" is listed below.
