The Musical – Victor/Victoria (2009)

A Price to Pay.

A million miles away

Victor , Wai Mun and Me!

Victor and I

Watched Victor/Victoria on Tuesday with Victor and Waimun and it wasn’t too bad! Laura Fygi is sensational! Even though it wasn’t fantastic (because Broadway was way better), I still love their coordinated dance moves set in the 1930s and its non-slapstick humor. My favorite character – Norman Cassidy – King Marchan’s peroxide-blonde, spitfire girlfriend (acted by Australian actress Nicole Stinton) is hilarious! In her first few scenes, you would want to slap that dumb blonde but after a while, her airhead personality tickles the hearts of many.

Airhead and King.

“In “Victor/Victoria”, Fygi plays Victoria Grant, a struggling British singer looking to fulfill her dreams in 1930s Paris. She agrees to play a female impersonator (a drag queen) – Count Victor Grazinski – in a swanky nightclub in order to get noticed and becomes the toast of the town. However, things get complicated when a gangster falls for “her” (a drag queen) and Victoria has to choose between love and her passion.”
