"Erik Petersen's elaborate, romantic, exaggerated, colorful and very warm implementation at the Staatstheater Mainz turns this musical rarity, which does not have a real hit song and sometimes has its lengths, into a great evening that inspires the audience and causes standing ovations." (kulturfreak.de)

"In the finale, the topic of diversity is presented once again in dance: just like Victoria, women and men wear the same costume, half dress, half suit. The musical ends with the message: Love - no matter what shape or color - conquers opposites and does it Live beautifully. Absolutely worth seeing!" (Focus on musicals)

A woman who pretends to be a man who in turn slips into female roles on the show stage - these are the ingredients that give the musical Victor/Victoria its flavor. It all starts out pretty easy. Victoria Grant, an unsuccessful singer, comes to a bar. There she meets Toddy, who takes care of her and has the brilliant idea: In order to finally be successful, Victoria could pretend to be a man, who in turn is a woman on stage. She agrees to it - a decision that is followed by many trials and tribulations. But then love comes into play and presents Victor/Victoria with a difficult decision. The American composer Henry Mancini penned world-famous melodies, including the film music forPink Panther and Breakfast at Tiffany's . First filmed as a fast-paced comedy of mistaken identity, Victor/Victoria also conquered the stages in 1995 as a musical with a powerful big band sound and poses questions that are still relevant today about the social significance of biological sex, gender and the associated assignments.
