I do not recall his exact words, but Robert Preston had been asked to take Victor/Victoria to Broadway by and with Blake and Julie and turned them down flat. He articulated his reasons in a NY Times interview (I may be wrong about the source, but I doubt it). He seemed to see it as their vanity project and one likely to pale next to La Cage, which was a huge hit when they first approached him. He did not seem to think either of them knew what they were doing.
It took a long time for the show to materialize. La Cage was gone by then, but so was whatever bloom the rose once potentially held. A shame on many levels. |
