- Another rare Sunset Boulevard recording. Susan Dawn Carson (u/s Norma Desmond) As If We Never Said Goodbye from the original Broadway production of Sunset Boulevard.
Ah my dear friend... absolutely thrilling.
I love that she does "and brighter than we knew it" like Karen Mason did. That was such an unexpected and beautiful twist that they brought to their performances. I know at the end of Act One I said "Glenn who" (kidding of course, as Close did give a legendary performance, but these women definitely proved the show still soared without an "A-list" star in the role)
The problem was that without an a-lister they were having trouble filling the seats. That was made apparent when Glenn Close when on vacation and the really useful group lied to hide the drop in ticket sales while Karen Mason was on in her place. They also struggled to sell tickets to the first us national tour with Linda Balgord at the helm and she was a vocal powerhouse. It's ashame because these women were stunning in the role and to this day Susan remains one of my favorite Normas. She only went on a handful of times so I can only imagine what her performance would have been like if she had actually had a chance to grow into the character.
Who did she understudy? Glenn?
Glenn and Betty
A beautiful rendition, full of yearning. x
She was insanely good especially given the relatively few times she went on in the role during the original Broadway run
Amazing as always, thank you my friend ❤
You're so welcome🙂
I know this audio is rare, so I totally understand if the answer is no, is there any chance you would upload her finale? It’s my favourite scene and I would love to hear her version, but again, totally understand if the answer is no xx
