From Broadway Center Stages Production of sunset boulevard at the kennedy center. With One Look Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Glenn Close
@@dctheatre5734 I hope so. It's amazing what they are able to accomplish with 10 days rehearsal time. The first time I saw this show was during Glenn Close's original run. I have literally a couple decades following this show and various Productions around the country. Thank you so much for the recording.
For all the Sunset fanatics out there in the dark, I posted With One Look by the original Broadway understudy Susan Dawn Carson. This is one of the Holy Grails of Sunset Boulevard recordings. Enjoy ruclips.net/video/hAFZIJmiekY/видео.html
They don't want me any more, They all say I'm through Well it's time they knew With on look I can break your heart With one look I play every part I can make your sad heart sing With one look you'll know All you need to know. With one smile I'm the girl next door Or the love that you've hungered for When I speak it's with my soul I can play any role No words can tell The stories my eyes tell Watch me when I frown You can't write that down You know I'm right It's there in black and white When I look your way You'll hear what I say. Yes, with one look I put words to shame Just one look Sets the screen aflame Silent music starts to play One tear from my eye Makes the whole world cry. With one look They'll forgive the past They'll rejoice: I've returned at last To my people in the dark Still out there in the dark Silent music starts to play With one look you'll know All you need to know. With one look I'll ignite a blaze I'll return to my glory days They'll say Norma's back at last. This time I'm staying I'm staying for good I'll be back Where I was born to be With one look I'll be me
Glenn Close did not write any music or lyrics to the musical "Sunset Boulevard". Please amend your text. Ms Block makes this her own with a character and vocal interpretation that is indeed excellent.
Using head voice is essential to make it a work of art with finesse. We don't want a 1 volume shout fest. It's sad enough that kids nowadays think that is what singing is.
In general I would agree with you. But there are exceptions to the rule. My understanding is that Rodger Edens, or I believe that's who it was, urged Judy NOT to use her head voice. I'm trying to think if there's ever any time than she did. But she was truly one of a kind.
I vehemently disagree. I thought the level of expressiveness and her performance was almost to perfection. Granted I did sit in the theater and actually watch her perform the role so that may have something to do with it. She was absolutely mesmerizing
This is hard to listen to .. she spent too many hours with her vocal coach, trying to perfect her vowels and technique like an opera singer. If her emphasis was on the character and her acting, I would be pulled in. Glad I didn't see it, I would have walked out.
Absolutely terrible. This is one of those misguided incidents when a voice teacher tells their students to put the certain parts of the song in their head voice instead of belting, then convinces them to use the “eh” instead of the “ee” vowel sounds in the latter. I’m glad you ruined this score in DC instead of Broadway, Stephanie. You have a great career ahead of you impersonating Cher in Reno.
@@PapaLynn1 Do we need to have a little talk about how the comments section works? Apparently so. The comments section is a place where people are welcome to give their opinions on the subject at hand. That’s literally the point of its existence. So, when you visit the comments section, and you say silly things like “if you don’t like it, don’t comment on it,” you are not only behaving extremely rudely and stupidly, you are literally violating the terms of usage for this space by polluting it with your embarrassingly ignorant attempt to silence another user for using this space for its exact intention. I know that was a lot, so close your workbook, put your head on your desk, and take little nap before recess.
@@PapaLynn1 Oh, dear. You seem to have a learning disability. After lunch we’ll visit the Principal to see if we can get you transferred to Special Ed. We’ll get you fitted for a crash helmet and some mittens in no time at all.
Let's talk about three "ay" at the end. Glenn, Betty, Elaine, Petula, Rita, Diahann, Debra, and Maria all did it. In fact the only headline Normas in the original production not to do it (english language) were Patti LuPone and Linda Balgord. So essentially you were being nasty because you could be and genuinely offered nothing substantial to the conversation because it was done that way on Broadway by EVERY SINGLE headliner (s/b and u/s excluded). Next time don't be so rude.
@@chrisjacobs7417 Betty only did it for the beginning of her run on Broadway then made the adjustment. She said she was told to sing it that way by a stupid, English musical director. Seth Rudetsky made a video about it. So both Patti and Betty sang “ee.” The reason actors like to sing “eh” (not “ay,’ btw) is because it is easier to sing as it is a more open sound and doesn’t require one to lift the back of the tongue toward the soft palate which creates a tighter, less open path. It’s a lazy choice. So, no, not EVERY SINGLE HEADLINER on Broadway did this, so next time, check your facts.
@@marcuspd7502 that's a flat-out lie. David Caddick did not teach her to do that. Also she was still doing it that way at the end of her Broadway run, it did not change. In audio of her final Broadway performance she did it that way. Also she was still doing it after she started yelling "this time I'm staying" and that wasn't until midway through 1996. Clearly you do not remember your Sunset history very accurately. The joy of collecting bootlegs as I can go back to them for reference. So in the future if you're going to be smug, at least know what you're talking about. This of from mid 96 shortly before Paige took over. So again, edith your memory is of it is faulty or you're flat out lying. ruclips.net/video/youYT4knaDM/видео.html
Saw her yesterday and that last vibrato changed my life
Stephanie is in a class all her own. Her voice is perfect for Norma and Andrews music.
Saw it Tuesday night AND Weds closing matinee. She did so much with this old that I haven’t seen done before. AMAZING.
Saw it 3 times. Each better then the previous!❤🎭
I wish I got to see it again it was such a good show!
Great delivery of those lyrics!
Wow! Never heard this young lady before! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!
The way she grabbed your attention with this and held you tight---life changing
shes such a queen
I'm seeing her on Wednesday. Seeing her in this role has literally been my dream since I saw her in the Boy from Oz. This was mind-blowing. Holy shit.
I hope you like it! She played Norma incredibly for such a short rehearsal time

Would love a post of Klena’s “Sunset Boulevard”
Posted!
@@dctheatre5734 Thank you so much!
Omg this is amazing! Do you happen the have the finale? After hearing this i can just imagine how heartbreaking she would be ❤
Like the final scene right?
@@dctheatre5734 yes please :)
That final “Meeeeee!” in the finale was AMAZING! Gave me chills and my eyes bugged out. Lol She killed this
She slayed this! Do you have As If We Never Said Goodbye?
We have a new Norma and i dont mind it one bit! Wouldnt it be something if she went on tour with this...fingers crossed
It's a shame at 2:28 that they didn't go with Patti Lupone's original key at that part. Block certainly has the vocal prowess for it.
Nicole Scherzinger does it and God, she's incredible.

They don't want me any more,
They all say I'm through
Well it's time they knew
With on look
I can break your heart
With one look
I play every part
I can make your sad heart sing
With one look you'll know
All you need to know.
With one smile
I'm the girl next door
Or the love that you've hungered for
When I speak it's with my soul
I can play any role
No words can tell
The stories my eyes tell
Watch me when I frown
You can't write that down
You know I'm right
It's there in black and white
When I look your way
You'll hear what I say.
Yes, with one look
I put words to shame
Just one look
Sets the screen aflame
Silent music starts to play
One tear from my eye
Makes the whole world cry.
With one look
They'll forgive the past
They'll rejoice: I've returned at last
To my people in the dark
Still out there in the dark
Silent music starts to play
With one look you'll know
All you need to know.
With one look
I'll ignite a blaze
I'll return to my glory days
They'll say Norma's back at last.
This time I'm staying
I'm staying for good
I'll be back
Where I was born to be
With one look
I'll be me
HER BELTING
She's incredible as always! What night was this?

Any song requests?
Do you have the full show? If you don’t can you post the last line?
@@makaylab6925 I do, but I will probably just release a few more songs
Thank you for this! Please please please, the Finale next!
As If We Never Said Goodbye and the Finale, please? 🙏
@@bnorem09 uploading a few tonight, including finale!
Is the end Glenn's arrangement?
It is! Only Patti and Betty did the original key I think! X
i think only la diva lupone did the end in the original key…
@@scottstorey7543 I believe it was Patti and Linda Balgord.
@@dannyvincent7831 Betty Buckley too
@@marcoterres3421 Maybe it was different live, but on their respective recordings, Patti and Linda end this song on a D while Betty ends it on a B.

Unmusical - Too much Parlando....

Omg. That last note. Not good. She screamed it. Listen to Betty Buckley. No one better. Ever.
OMG!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! HORRIBLE!!
