Let's address the indelible question posed in the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical 'The King and I': 'Shall We Dance?' In a staggeringly sumptuous new production at La Mirada Theatre through mid-May, the emphatic response is: Yes, oh, yes, they shall! Plus, they shall sing well. And, well, act extremely well, too. This mounting of the 70-year-old show doesn't just blow away cobwebs but is polished beyond house producer McCoy Rigby Entertainment's usual attention to detail and quality, generally limited only by theater size and fiscal sanity.
