This is a rare, rare glimpse of the original Broadway production (restaged 20 years later for the Tonys). Patricia Morison, seen in this clip, was the luscious original Kate of KISS ME KATE. She replaced Gertrude Lawrence in the Broadway premiere when Lawrence was too ill with cancer to go on (she died 3 weeks later). Brynner is the one and only King, though others have done well in the role.

She thinks she is singing opera! Give me Debra Kerr!!

[broadwaymelody33]

@MrMakan1

You mean Marni Nixon. Deborah Kerr didn't do her singing!

[UncleBobIsAngry]

I dont like this woman at all...

[missaprille1]

I like her voice..Not the chemistry between them..no spark..

[dramarhiannon]

I do not like this woman at all.

Best Anna = Barbara Cook

[MissMiffed]

One, two, three AND.

[sandy3209]

debra is a lot better...............

[gabrieljlivingston]

@sandy3209 I don't prefer this Anna and I do agree the movie is better, But keep in mind that Deborah Kerr did not do her own singing, it was Marni Nixon.

[sandy3209]

@gabrieljlivingston , thank you never knew that, did marni nixon sing on anything else, lovely voice

[gabrieljlivingston]

@sandy3209 Yes, She dubbed Natalie Wood in West Side Story. She also sang for Audrey Hepburn in My Fiar Lady. And I know she played a nun in The Sound of Music.

[wolfsfan1234]

I liked the original Anna better. -.-

[KittyKat200785]

LOL love that man... love how he hurls her in to the curtain.... not keen on her as Anna love Deborah Kerr best.... love how he knows his lines by heart.... X3 like the way he yells at her "You make me lose count!" lol love him

[deutschediva1948]

The Man was Divine. All his movies were brilliant.

[maniandpink]

You know what amazes me (besides how BIG that dress is...)?? How he manages not to step on it or trip on it. Really. That's amazing.

[ANNIEFERGUSON13]

she is not for him

[OldieMusicMan]

@theofficialgomfo Yes. He was the original King (he won a Tony for the part). I believe he played the King on and off throughout his career.

[coteyankee1]

I was there that night and remember this moment like it was yesterday! I met him at the party after the show. A magical night!!!

[buzzclick500]

@coteyankee1 : Dang! You're blessed! ;]

[wickedfan7681]

is this posted in full? All the 25 shows?

[uofjim]

Angela Lansbury filled in for Constance Towers on Broadway in the 70's - imagine seeing Brynner and Lansbury in this show!?

[pudgeuncle]

@uofjim Yul and Lansbury were NOT in the show at the same time. When he went on vacation, the producers knew that no one would see the show unless they had a huge star as Anna. I almost saw her last performance but my girlfriend wanted to see Jason Robards in A Touch of the Poet which closed that day. I am sorry I missed Lansbury.

[80stimeagain]

Thanks for share. Yul is so good in movies and on the stage. ;)

[pillowlover005]

This role just comes so naturally to Yul Brynner. I don't even think he is acting. Purely brilliant! Patricia Morrison, I think, acts the role decently, but her voice bothers me. I think it is the vibrato. Hm...

[Snowpum18]

1956 was my fav

[InuGrrrl]

Yul is AWESOME. I love that man!

[orkilatrish]

You can't beat Yul Brenner! Morrison however, not my favorite Anna...

[mrocks777]

@orkilatrish i so agree!

[librarybob1958]

@orkilatrish Best known as the original Lili Vanessi/Katherine in "Kiss Me Kate," she succeeded Gertrude Lawrence in the original Broadway production of "King and I" at the former's sudden death, and subsequently toured in the show.

[SweetLo22]

I love it! Yul Brynner is the Best and Patricia Morrison was good too.

[bblover45]

hes just so.. sjdhsjdhsj at everything!

I love him :D

[esha1808]

perfect!!! love him!)))

[RosesNightengales]

He's awesome. I love this scene.

[XxLabyrinthpumkinxX]

Go YUL BRUNNER!!!!!!! brillant :)

[2314575]

How dare they mis-spell the name of the ineffable Patricia Morison?from 2314575

[cclevans]

yul brynner is heavenly man

[crazygfish]

Yul Brynner is the BEST Mongkut! Lolz~!

[noam46]

I beg to differ, she is so blazaye compared .......

[Capricaquarius89]

This was a particularly spectacular Tony Awards show...my grandma was fortunate to c it live and says she still gets chills remembering that night, w/ all of the Best Musical winners brought back 2 reprise snippets of their roles...please post any more clips u might have from the 1971 Tony Awards...

[SwiftFoxProductions]
