BTW, I have just noticed at IMDB that she was born in 1915, so cripes! that means she was c. 56 years old - nearly an OAP - when she made this! I only hope I look & sound this good at her age!! ,-)
Again according to Wiki: "The King and I: In Feb[...] 1954, Morison took over [as] Anna Leonowens in the [R&H] production of The King and I, [with] Yul Brynner in his star-making role as the King of Siam. The play premiered in 1951, originally with Gertrude Lawrence as Leonowens. Lawrence was subsequently replaced by Celeste Holm, Constance Carpenter, Annamary Dickey, and finally Morison, who appeared [...] until its Broadway closing on March 20, 1954, and then continued [...] on tour."
@mavphantom It wasn't. I can't recall the exact year, but in the 1970s they did a tribute year to classic shows. As I remember, Carol Channing did something from "Hello, Dolly!" and Zero Mostel did something from Fiddler as well.
Gosh! What fun to see! Thanks for posting this. I only know the Brynner/Kerr movie version.

1952 corresponds to the year The King & I received a Tony for best Musical.
But this is clearly a 70's revival.

Ok, people, to settle it finally, Marni Nixon was Anna's singing voice in the movie. She was uncredited, too bad. Just look it up for yourself.

One of the great, most electric moments in musical theater history. I get goose bumps every time he places his hand on her side.

@murbuzz This Anna played the role on Broadway opposite Brynner to great acclaim.

Whatever the performance, Brynner's eyes always captivate and draw you in and keep you there in glorious inertia. Rest his soul.
