Joan Almedilla, who played Lady Thiang in the National Tour of THE KING AND I with her son CJ Uy, talks about life on the road with her family, working with Bart Sher, and playing this iconic role. The analysis was one of my favorites to unpack; don't miss this episode!

Something Wonderful with Joan Almedilla

Hello! My name is Dan Pardo. I am a NYC-based music director, arranger, and pianist, and this is PARDO'S TURN, my Web Series/Podcast. In each episode, I will analyze an iconic showtune from a music director's point of view, and perform the song with some terrific friends and colleagues. If you're curious to hear how the construction of a melody relates to its lyric, the implications of a certain harmonization or rhythm, or what an orchestration choice might suggest, then please subscribe and take this journey with me!
