Victor/Victoria (TV 1995)
Directors: Matthew Diamond, Blake Edwards
Writer: Blake Edwards
Stars: Julie Andrews, Tony Roberts and Michael Nouri
Summary: Julie Andrews takes the Broadway stage in this 1995 production to reprise the big-screen role that nabbed her an Oscar nod in 1982 — unemployed nightclub singer Victoria Grant, who becomes an overnight sensation as Victor, a female impersonator. The plot thickens when a Chicago mobster (Michael Nouri) falls for Victoria while witnessing her act, convinced that she really is a woman. Tony Roberts co-stars as Victoria’s gay partner in crime.
So i found this on Netflix streaming expecting the moving and finding it was the stage version. No biggy, I love stage shows. The recording of this one was great and I really enjoyed it. How can a gay man NOT love Julie Andrews in some way shape or form. I’ll see her in anything . . . well almost anything, but that’s another topic for another day. This show really makes me want to see the film version. The one downside. Julie Andrews is not a convincing man.
