Lute Song (1946) Yul Brynner and Mary Martin

Mary Martin sings "Mountain High, Valley Low" from Lute Song (1946) also Starring Yul Brynner as Tsai-Yong. Many do not realize Yul performed on Broadway before the King and I. As a matter of fact Mary Martin is significant to this in that She recommended Yul to her friends Rodgers and Hammerstein for the role of the Siamese monarch in the classic The King and I and persuaded Yul to go to the audition. Mary said of Yul, "He was grace itself, pure poetry. Yul Brynner moved more beautifully than anyone I've ever seen on stage".

Yul was much tougher on his 26 year old self, " “I had no skills as an actor — none at all. I hid behind a very stylized performance that many people wrongly remember as quite remarkable, although it was not. Every performance of that show was painful for me and I hated my acting. I despised myself for playing such a weak character, and there I was stuck in a role I was ashamed of." A person can be header on themselves more than anyone else. Lute Song’s original cast album is a curiosity, limited as it is to just six songs (four of which feature Martin on the A side), and a B side consisting solely of orchestral music, forcing Yul Brynner off the disc entirely. Will we ever hear Yul! So sad! A rare find indeed. The Broadway production opened at the Plymouth Theatre on February 6, 1946 with Mary who felt miscast. A London production opened at the Winter Garden on October 11, 1948, this time with Dolly Haas opposite I had to end with that pic of Mary and Yul years later at some awards show in the 70s. They looked like they were having a ball.
