PBS is following up its telecasts of “Present Laughter” and “Much Ado About Nothing,” which were also made available for viewing via streaming video, with one of the very best musicals that Lincoln Center Theater has produced, Bartlett Sher’s 2015 revival of “The King and I.” I’ve had mixed feelings about more than a few of Mr. Sher’s Broadway revivals, but this one, which starred Kelli O’Hara, was a knockout and a wow, the finest staging of the show I’ve seen, and it’s a most agreeable surprise to see how fully it translates to the small screen.
