There was a ban on personations of Victoria in public theatres in Britain, and the play was first given at the Gate Theatre, London in May 1935. The Gate, being a theatre club, was technically private and therefore exempt from the prohibition. In 1936 Edward VIII had the ban revoked, and public performances of the play were possible. The first was in 1937 at the Lyric Theatre, London, where Pamela Stanley repeated her performance in the title role seen at the Gate two years earlier. The play ran at the Lyric for 337 performances.^[1]

The play was staged three times on Broadway, New York – between 1935 and 1937, twice at the Broadhurst and in 1938 at the Martin Beck. All three productions featured Helen Hayes as Victoria. A twenty-four year old Vincent Price enjoyed his appearance as Prince Albert in the Broadhurst productions.^[3]  Hayes as Victoria was recorded on radio in an episode of The Campbell Playhouse.
