In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult. May O’Donnell constructs her pieces with the use of spacial structure. She organizes her dancers so that different groups are spread out differently throughout the stage and at times she uses all dancers in one singular spacial structure, like a diagonal.

She also uses many other choreographic tools to keep the attention of the audience and bring contrast to her piece.

Though it has been said “it wasn’t until they filmed it until they caught the delicacy, humor, and poignancy all at once” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 47) this paper will discuss the history of The King and I on Broadway.

With musical geniuses Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II writing the score, Jerome Robbins brilliantly choreographing “Small House of Uncle Thomas” and “Shall We Dance?” as well as many other dance sequences. Jo Mielziener was the set and lighting designer, Frederick Dvonch was the musical director, and Irene Sharaff was the costume designer.
