Broadway Puzzler #19

This non-American born bona fide movie star started as a stage performer and was a member of the chorus in the first legitimate production of this award-winning classic musical when it was produced on the stage in this foreign captial city which boasted the star of the original Broadway production.

Name the then chorus member, the show, the city.

Yours for a better Broadway!

Sean Connery in SOUTH PACIFIC in London?

I'm pretty sure he was one of the sailors in an early production, if not the original

FrontRow, you are correct!

Mr. James Bond himself was a singing sailor swaying and sashsaying behind Mary Martin in the London production of SOUTH PACIFIC.

Take that you evil villians of the world!

Yours for a better Broadway!
