As If We Never Said Goodbye - Nancy Anderson (u/s for Glenn Close)

Sunset Boulevard - Broadway revival 2017
Nancy Anderson only went on one time in the role of Norma Desmond. Glenn Close was out sick on Mother's Day 2017. Nancy held her own quite well.

I wish she got to go on more. She's a stunning actor and singer.

I was here for this, it was *electric* in that room

@@LadyLizaElliottI thought it was alright. It was nothing on the level of Ria Jones big moment in London at ENO. Her performance was adequate. Her acting was solid though her singing tended to be on the shrill side at times. I definitely wasn't disappointed. I'm grateful somebody captured this video. Would have loved it even more if they captured a full recording (there is an audio). Her performance was commendable given how a little prep she actually had.

Wonder who the understudy was for Glenn during original run in the 90s

[@youwontwanttowakeup]

There were four -- standbys Karen Mason and Maureen Moore, and understudies Susan Dawn Carson and Alicia Irving

@@youwontwanttowakeup I have Norma's to big numbers posted on here with Susan Dawn Carson as Norma. Unfortunately I did not get to catch Alicia during the original run and I have not been able to track down an audio for her. I'm not even sure if she ever went on. I know Susan only went on a handful of times during the run
