It's the 20th anniversary of Broadway's tender and funny, smart and sexy Victor/ Victoria and the Ogunquit Playhouse is celebrating by mounting a full-scale glamorous production of the musical comedy June 24 to July 18, complete with the original Broadway and touring sets designed by Robin Wagnerand costumes by Willa Kim.
Written by acclaimed film director Blake Edwards (Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Pink Panther) and based on his hit film that starred Julie Andrews, Robert Preston and James Garner, this truly classic musical features an electrifying and moving score by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and additional musical material by Frank Wildhorn that includes the exciting "Le Jazz Hot," the touching "Almost A Love Song," and the hilarious "Chicago, Illinois." Don't miss the musical comedy that BroadwayWorld exclaims "has all the panache and sizzle of Chicago, the colorful character line up of Guys and Dolls, and the farcical comedy of Noises Off." This show has it all!
Victor/Victoria is a musical comedy set in 1934 Paris in all its glitzy glory, and tells the story of Victoria, played by Broadway's Lisa Brescia, a down-on-her-luck nightclub singer in search of a job. Her luck changes when she meets the flamboyant and big-hearted Toddy, played by Broadway veteran George Dvorsky, who hatches a plan to help her masquerade as female impersonator "Victor." Hilarity and confusion soon follow when "Victor" becomes an overnight sensation in the night clubs of Paris and attracts the attention of a macho Chicago gangster, King Marchan, played byDarren Ritchie -- much to the dismay of his ditsy girlfriend Norma Cassidy, played by Robyn Hurder.
