The latter two did not offer very steady employment so Martin soon appeared in the Off-Broadway revival of "Once Upon A Mattress" as the shy Prince Dauntless. Because of the enormous popularity of "Cabaret" in New York, the Latin Quarter decided to replace the usual tall, dark baritone with an M..C. who could be comedic and display an off-beat kind of charm. Martin, who has an impressive night club background which includes the Coti 11 ion. Room and No. One .Fifth Avenue in,Mew York, was the perfect choice to play the role.
