Victor Victoria (2004-01-Bridewell Theatre-London)
Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Bridewell Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 2 semaines Nombre : Première Preview : mardi 13 janvier 2004Première : mardi 13 janvier 2004Dernière : samedi 31 janvier 2004Mise en scène : Phil Willmott • Chorégraphie : Jack Gunn • Producteur : Avec : Ria Jones (Victoria), Christopher Holt (Toddy), Mark Halliday (King Marchan), Stewart Alexander (Squash), Emma Barton (Norma), Matthew DainesCommentaires : Originally a 1933 German play “Viktor und Viktoria” by Rheinhold Schunzel, the first English version was the 1935 Jessie Matthew film, “Just a Girl”. Blake Edwards re-made the film in 1982 with music and lyrics by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse, and with his wife, Julie Andrews in the lead. In 1995 he adapted this into a Broadway musical, again starring Julie Andrews. Extra songs were needed and Mancini and Bricusse started work on the project, but sadly Mancini died, and newcomer Frank Wildhom completed the score. It opened in New York in October 1995 and ran for 734 performances. Julie Andrews was nominated for a Tony but rejected the nomination because, as she explained in a curtain speech, “However, flattered as I am, and honoured to be nominated, I have to say how deeply sad I am to be the only nominee in this extraordinarily gifted company.” However, Julie Andrews and the show received and won several other awards from the Drama Desk and Outer Circle critics. Julie Andrews stayed with the show for almost two years, during which she took a short holiday when Liza Minelli stood in. A great scandal ensued when the leading man walked out in protest at Minelli’s poor performance. When Julie Andrews finally left the show in June 1997 she was replaced with Raquel Welch, but without its legendary star, the show came off very quickly.
Paris, 1934. Après une nouvelle audition ratée, Victoria Grant fait la connaissance de Toddy, un homosexuel au grand cœur. Touché par sa misère, il lui offre l’hospitalité et élabore un plan des plus fous : puisque personne ne veut de Victoria en chanteuse, elle deviendra… chanteur !
Rebaptisée Victor, chanteur au passé de célèbre travesti polonais, Victoria va rencontrer le succès… Mais tout va se compliquer lorsque King Marchan, le roi des night-clubs de Chicago s’éprendra d’elle…
Durant les pre-Broadway try-out du spectacle, on a demandé à Frank Wildhorn de créer la musique pour de chansons supplémentaires (par rapport au film), qui seraient interprétées par Julie Andrews et d'autres stars faisant partie du cast. Les chansons "Trust Me," "Louis Says," et "Living in the Shadows", signées Frank Wildhorn et Leslie Bricusse, ont complété la version créée à Broadway.

Victor Victoria (1995-10-Marquis Theatre-Broadway)
Type de série: OriginalThéâtre: Marquis Theatre (Broadway - Etats-Unis) Durée : 1 an 9 mois Nombre : 25 previews - 734 représentationsPremière Preview : mardi 03 octobre 1995Première : mercredi 25 octobre 1995Dernière : dimanche 27 juillet 1997Mise en scène : Black Edwards • Chorégraphie : Rob Marshall • Producteur : Commentaires longs: The original cast included Julie Andrews (reprising her role in the film). During Andrews' four-week vacation in early 1997, her much-hyped replacement, Liza Minnelli, allegedly stumbled over her dialogue and lyrics and missed nearly as many performances as she played, allegedly due to problems with her knees, although a few months later she checked herself into a rehab center to deal with her drug and alcohol addictions. A videotape of the show though, recorded on a cam from the audience during Minnelli's run, reveals Minnelli in fine form, displaying none of those problems.
Julie Andrews famously refused her Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical, the show's only nomination. On 5/8/1998, she made a curtain speech from the stage of the Marquis Theatre saying "I have searched my conscience and my heart and find that I cannot accept this nomination, and prefer instead to stand with the egregiously overlooked."
