Oh, yes! I believe it was 1995? and I saw this on Broadway with Julie Andrews. It was specular as a movie, but seeing it live took my breath away. Thank you for this reminder. I'll try to find my video cassette and something to play it on!!!
Love this performance - and I think it's not too much of a stretch to suggest that the Victor/Victoria character was inspired by the actual Barbette, born in Round Rock, Texas, who became the toast of Paris in the 1920s.
