Victor/Victoria is based on the 1982 film of the same name which
was a remake of the German film comedy Viktor und Viktoria. Mancini died
before he could complete the music, and Wildhorn was brought in to finish the
score. The original Broadway production, in 1995, aroused some mild controversy
when the star, Julie Andrews, feeling that the rest of the show had been
overlooked, refused her (and the show's only) Tony Award nomination.
A penniless
soprano, named Victoria, colludes with a struggling gay impresario to disguise
herself as a man named Victor, who entertains as a female impersonator known as
"Victoria" - and as a result becomes the toast of Paris.
Complications arise when a Chicago mobster sees the act and finds himself
attracted to the star.
