The King and I

Two worlds collide in this breathtaking and exquisite musical. Set in 1860s Bangkok, “The King and I” tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and a British schoolteacher whom the modernist king hires to teach his many wives and children. One of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s finest works, “The King and I” features such beloved classics as “Getting To Know You,” “I Whistle A Happy Tune,” “Hello Young Lovers,” “Shall We Dance,” and “Something Wonderful.”Location La Comedia Dinner Theater, SpringboroActivity Level Moderate Cost $44 at sign-up

Portsmouth Floodwall & Scioto Ribber’s Restaurant

The idea of painting murals on the Portsmouth floodwall first occurred to lifelong resident Dr. Louis R. Chaboudy in 1992 after viewing outdoor murals in Steubenville, Ohio. In May 1993, less than one year after the visit to Steubenville, painting began on the longest mural in the project, 20 feet x 160 feet. The mural project was completed in October 2002 with 2,200 feet of art along the Ohio River. The project has become the largest known work of art by a single artist, Robert Dafford.Location PortsmouthActivity Level Moderate/Strenuous Cost $7 at sign-up
