Sunset Blvd -FINALE Betty Buckley

[HeathenSaxon]

perhaps one of the WORST musicals of all time

[rafaelloggia]

I watched her at The Adelphi theatre in London in 1995, just before she went on to conquer Broadway. Incredible stuff, brought me to my feet, and I was an instant fan. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Thanks for breaking the Law. The whole show blew me away,and to watch the final scene is a real treat. You had great seats too!

I unfortunately did not see it with Miss Buckley, but did see it, for the 1st time, in London with Patti Lupone, who did an amazing job and whose voice was incredible. I then saw it again in NY with Glenn Close, whose voice is not incredible, but she made up for with her acting. Like the saying 'actor who sings or singer that acts'....she was/is an actor who sings. Lupone, the other, but still a very good actress. Elaine fizzled! Know Faye Dunaway wanted NY, thank God that never happened.

I so hope they come with the movie ......

She is so good at everything she does. Such a great lady.

WOW! I got CHILLS at the end of this! I'm glad whoever filmed zoomed in close to her face....she looks like an evil Disney Queen. And God, Betty Buckley's voice is unreal. I love the way she almost roars in this. That costume is epic too. As tragic as the ending is, every time I see Norma sing that final bit, there's something so amazingly immortal about it: I always feel what Max must have felt. It's the first and only time the audience sees the film start in her living glory.

To those criticising the video shoot, this predates nice little compact phones with video facilities and would probably have been filmed with something the size of a brick. She is wonderful and this reminds me how much of a great musical this is. It really has it all, great musical, drama, stage sets, story. Why it didnt run as long as Les Mis escapes me.

@kevhippo I think it was because the show itself was too expensive in terms of production, that it wasn't making enough money to pay it all off. Which will most likely be the fate of the Spiderman Musical. Though I bet if they let it run as long as Les Miserables, it might have paid off!

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

[BrochtrupBean]

Whomever shot this should be, well, shot. Several times. Like Joe. They couldn't manage to pul their head out of their ass to pull back and get the final "silent" Norma. Vile.

[sarmadasco]

@BrochtrupBean Give the guy a break! Remember he was sneaking this and when this was on Broadway, about '95-'96, no one had camera phones, so he was using a large device that was not ez to control amidst a crowd of 1200 while hiding it. Had he done it today, would be better, but I am sure he did best he could given the circumstances. Taping, recording, pictures will get u kicked out, so he took a risk, so now we can see it. Shows have been stopped for this. Thank you for posting.
