Victor/Victoria (1995 Broadway Production) Reviews
One of the finest Broadway production to be seen
My only regret is I missed the chance to watch the show live when coming to New York City in late 1997. This DVD release may be the second best though we have the soundtrack CD for many years. Seeing the show is miles more enjoyable than merely listening to the audio tracks.
We always enjoy the performance by Julie Andrews who as a multi-talented artist has a very remarkable career through all these decades. This show provides her an excellent opportunity to pull off various aspects not many female Broadway artists may have accomplished. Understandably the show closed off not long after she had lost her voice even with two other big name artists as replacement.
I tend to believe that the audience bought the tickets more or less to see _her_ on the stage.
Rachel York as Norma Cassidy is quite a pleasant surprise that substantially elevate the total comedy effect. It's hard to hold off the chuckle with the gags coming out from her.
This should be in the library of every lover not just of Broadway musicals but of performing arts.
Just Another Review...
To start off before i rip the show apart I do like this show and I do enjoy watching this DVD as well as the movie itself.
Tony Roberts(Toddy) and Julie Andrews(Victoria) are weak in their roles. Definetly with all the talented actors out there I'm disappointed the casting directors could not have found better suited actors. Not saying that Tony and Julie aren't fabulous actors, they just weren't meant to play these parts. Andrews is just not believable what-so-ever as a boy. But this is one of the last performances that the legend, Andrews had, and it's nice to be able to capture her amazing command of the stage on film.
The supporting cast is fantastic especially the fabulous Rachel York(Norma Cassady) who never disappoints. York and Gregory Jbara(Squash) Keep the show together.
As far as music, there are very few numbers that spark my interest. One being Le Jazz Hot and also Paris Makes me Horny. The rest of the music drags and is sometimes boring.
