  1. "Shall We Dance?" is a #showTune from the 1951 #RodgersAndHammerstein #musical, #TheKingAndI. It is sung by the characters of Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam, originated on Broadway by #GertrudeLawrence and #YulBrynner respectively. #ValerieHobson played Anna in the original #London #WestEnd production, and #MarniNixon (who sang the songs while #DeborahKerr lip-synced) in the 1956 film of The King and I. The song comes about after Anna.

    With an iconic #ElsaLanchester, unforgettable #ErnestThesiger, #ValerieHobson and #OPHeggie joining a peerless cast of Universal monster movie familiars, #JamesWhale's final genre film became the definitive horror sequel... and a truly unique Hollywood picture. #OnThisDay, in 1935, the immortal #BrideOfFrankenstein premiered at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco.
