There was talk of "Victor/Victoria" being adapted for the stage years before it actually happened, while Preston was still alive, and Preston was outspokenly critical of the idea. His comments, if I recall correctly, suggested that Edwards did not know what he was doing and that Julie was following him blindly. I think he felt it would be compared to and pale next to "La Cage", which was then a huge hit. It may have been in the Sunday Times Magazine. Perhaps you can google it. Anyway, she probably liked working with him and attributed his criticisms to those "demons."
