Zebra Crossing Singapore raises the curtain for the Asian premiere of acclaimed composer and conductor Henry Mancini’s VICTOR/VICTORIA at the Esplanade Theatre on November 9, 2009.  The show stars international jazz songstress Laura Fygi as Victor/Victoria, and Filipino theatre stalwart Jake Macapagal as King Marchan.

Zebra Crossing promises to recreate the Esplanade Theatre into a magical evening of swinging jazz, magnetic grooves, dazzling sets, lights and costumes reminiscent of 1930s Paris.  

“Victor/Victoria,” the 1982 musical comedy film was a remake of “Victor und Viktoria” penned by German screenplay writer Hans Hoemburg, and directed by Reinhold Schunzel in 1933.  The film starred Julie Andrews as Victor/Victoria, James Garner, Robert Preston, Lesley Ann Warren, Alex Karras, and John Rhys-Davies.

It was later adapted into a Broadway musical in 1995, which also starred Julie Andrews. Mancini and Frank Wildhorn wrote the music with book by Blake Edwards and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse.
