A Queen City Welcome to The King and I!

Another KING SIZED standing ovation inside Belk Theater Tuesday evening for opening night of The King and I!  

After the outstanding first performance, we hosted a party for the cast, crew and creative team, at 5Church (one of our FANTASTIC restaurant partners). Several cast members pulled some of the Blumenthal family aside and said it was the nicest reception they've had their ENTIRE time on tour - and they've been at it since October!

Well, King and I crew...you're more than welcome! Check out some of the behind the scenes fun!

Mere hours after the big party, The King and our own Rylie Sickles made the local media rounds promoting the show and sharing their stories! Check out there interview on WBTV's Morning Break! (click image below for link to video)

Tickets are still available for the remaining performances through the weekend but are going FAST! Hope to see you at the show soon!
