“This 2015 Broadway revival remains one of the most memorable productions of my lifetime. Why? The extraordinary production values: The huge ship’s arrival to the beautiful costumes to the large and talented cast. Broadway star Kelli O’Hara finally found the role to win her a Tony Award, and was equally blown away by the performance of Ruthie Ann Miles as Lady Thiang, the King’s first wife. Finally, the chemistry shown between the King (Ken Watanabe) and Anna, best exemplified when he grips her around the waist for their memorable dance, appealed to the romantic in me.” – Steven McKnight

Sketch comedy worthy of Saturday Night Live, except you don’t have to wait through the boring parts. Watch the whole series in less than 40 minutes.
