Victor/Victoria

Victor/Victoria follows the fortunes of Victoria Grant, a poverty-stricken soprano trying to find work in Paris in the 1930s. With the help of Carroll (“Toddy”) Todd, a worldly-wise gay nightclub singer, she invents her alter-ego Victor, a female impersonator who is hired to sing at a fashionable night spot. As she negotiates the challenges “being a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman,” Victoria becomes the toast of Paris . Comic complications arise when King Marchan, a Chicago mobster, sees the act and finds himself attracted to the enigmatic star. As the play unfolds, we discover that not everyone is exactly what they appear to be in this wonderfully raucous battle of the sexes!
