The Broadway musical "The King and I," starring Japanese actor Ken Watanabe and veteran American actress Kelli O'Hara, on Sunday received four of this year's Tony Awards, the most revered prizes in American theater, including best musical revival.
The best musical actress went to O'Hara, who in her acceptance speech thanked her Japanese co-star as well as others involved in the production, which was nominated in nine categories.
"My king, Ken Watanabe, you're the king, my king," said O'Hara, who played Anna Leonowens, English teacher for the children of the king of Siam.
