Broadway PORTRAIT OF A QUEEN is part documentary chronicle, part dear-diary journal and part dusty political imbroglios, but mostly a record of a woman who also happened to be Queen Victoria. Dorothy Tutin wears the role like a tiara, moving from the spoiled child of power to the yielding, sensuous wife to the desolate widow with the fatigue of existence in her voice.
