Thomas and the King

Recently Updated

"Thomas and the King" is a musical comedy that tells the story of Thomas Canty, a young pauper who lives in Tudor England. He bears a striking resemblance to King Edward VI and, after a chance meeting with the monarch, the two boys decide to switch clothes for a day. However, when the king dies unexpectedly, Thomas finds himself thrust into the role of monarch, with all the power and responsibility that comes with it.

As Thomas navigates his new role, he must contend with the schemes of the nefarious Lord Hertford, who seeks to take control of the kingdom for himself. With the help of his loyal friends, Miles Hendon and Becky, Thomas must find a way to expose Lord Hertford's treachery and prove his own worth as a ruler.

Featuring music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, "Thomas and the King" is a lively and entertaining show that explores themes of identity, friendship, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
