i don't remember.

i remember not liking VICTOR VICTORIA but i had moved away by that point (this was 95, 96, right?) and when i would come in i would catch as much theater as i could and i'm not good at that. when i would see lots of things like that back to back they would all be one big blur by the time i got home - let alone at this late date.

it's possible i knew because who i saw it with was pretty plugged in - but i disliked pretty much everything about VV so if i knew it was just one more thing not to like.

i disliked it enough that i gave up the chance to see liza minnelli in it. the same person i'd seen it with before could get tickets. for some reason, at the time, that just didn't seem like quite a good enough reason to fly back in. i have no idea what i was thinking - other than liza's vocals were already less than stellar by then and i really, really, didn't like VV. still, now i wish i had seen her in it.

was liza's voice taped for this number?

I saw her opening night (sensational). And what turned out to be her last perf (voice just gave out, she was still sensational). She acted the hell out of this silly role.

She wasn't taped.

When I went, she was out. I got a refund. I later second acted it with her understudy, the gifted Ms. Runnolfson Also second acted with Welch.
