THE KING AND I commercials

[Anynom]

First one is so right that no one could play the role like Brynner could, no wonder every revival with him was a sell-out.

[Triority]

I saw both of these productions and they were both incredible -- and completely different from each other. Thank you for sharing this wonderful (if all too brief) footage!!!

Why did Nureyev play the King? By the time he was in the revival, the show was already a hit, so why did the producers feel the need to cast a white man in the role of an Asian man?

[Targisvear]

@cbiswhite technically, Nureyev was mostly a Tatar on both sides so technically he was Euro-Asian, not a Siamese on any account but neither was Chow Yun Fat

Yule Brenner - what a wonderful actor and it was absolutely fabulous to see him in person in this play!

I like the 1977 revival commercial better i even got to see Yul brynner 2 years ago in the 1956 film adaptation of the Rogers and Hammerstein Musical after seeing a little bit of a production from MTW at the Carpenter at Cal State long Beach for an invitational field trip 3 years ago

OMG, that last commercial is TERRIBLE! LoL, it seems to exploitative!

[fossefan]

@ItalianDivo101 Yeah, it's like, "Come see the show or 12 children will cry."
