Victoria is a poverty-stricken soprano trying to find work in Paris in the 1930's. With the help of a worldly-wise nightclub singer, she invents her alter-ego Victor, a female impersonator who is hired to sing at a fashionable night spot. "You want me to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman?" Interwoven throughout the comedy and musical numbers are some surprisingly astute observations about gender perceptions, discrimination and the battle of the sexes.

Both Julie Andrews and Lesley Ann Warren starred as Cinderella in TV productions of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.

Labisse:
If you ever come back, I will have you thrown out.


Toddy:
Don't make it sound like such a threat. Being thrown out of a place like this is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony.

Continuity: The reaction shots of Andre and Toddy watching Victoria during her first "Shady Dame of Seville" number have them wearing the same boutonni￿s they wore during her very first show, but when Toddy and Victoria arrive back at the hotel Toddy has a different colored one.

Performed by Robert Preston
