Victor/Victoria - 1995 Broadway History , Info & More

Marquis Theatre (Broadway)
210 W. 46th St. New York, NY 10036

Based on the film by Blake Edwards and the 1933 German film Viktor und Viktoria

A woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman?! It’s a piece of cake for out-of-work soprano Victoria Grant in this hillarious, fun-filled romp through 1930s Paris. Based on the side-splitting seven-time Oscar-nominated Blake Edwards film and backed by an exhilarating Academy Award®-winning score by the great Henry Mancini, Victor/Victoria is a warm and wildly energetic look at gender perceptions as seen through the eternal battle of the sexes. The classic film comes to the stage with a set of show-stopping numbers that range from the electrifying “Le Jazz Hot,” to the heart-rending “Almost a Love Song,” and “Crazy World.” A comical and touching celebration of the many facets of love, Victor/Victoria has it all! Performed at The Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood (111 S. Geyer Rd.).

BWW Reviews: Flashy and Fun VICTOR/VICTORIA Closes Stages St. Louis' 25th Season
by Chris Gibson - Sep 16, 2011


What is it about movie adaptations and Broadway? They're constantly adapting motion pictures for the stage, and yet, the majority are expensive flops and failures. Is it the fickle nature of the 'Great White Way', or simply cynical critics and theatre patrons who are jaded by these repeat offenders? Well, their loss is our gain, and the funny, romantic, utterly charming and delightful production of VICTOR/VICTORIA by Stages St. Louis is certainly proof enough that something is amiss in their estimations. This closer for Stages season is well worth you time and attention, and proves once again that some productions just work better in other venues.
