Helen plays the lead role of Anna Leonowens - a widowed schoolteacher who is hired by the King of Siam in his attempts to modernise his country. On her Instagram Stories, she reminded her followers that they only have a few more days to watch her on stage.
"One week left to come and see us!" she captioned the photo of her holding onto a potato as she smiled at the camera in her dramatic costume. She added: "Potato purely for comfort and unrelated to the show." The King and I will be playing at the Dominion Theatre until March 2 and with just a week to go, fans will no doubt be excited to see what Helen lines up next.
