LINDA BALGORD - 1st US Tour - "As If We Never Said Goodbye"

Once again, the divine Linda Balgord triumphs over adversity (those who care about her not being a "star" can cry me a river, build me a bridge and get the hell over it) in her amazing turn as Norma.

This is an amazing, intricate, spell binding performance is a force to be reckoned! Three cheers for Linda Balgord!

This is my favorite show tune. This lady nails it! Not only is she talented, but beautiful. Even that hideous 1092's make up can't hide her beauty!

Linda's a treasure! There's a number of bitchy Petula groupies who'd want this video to be wiped off the face of the earth! You know they keep reporting my Linda Balgord videos? Bitter much? LOL.

Only a stupid person can't see this woman is a great performer and a TRUE star. She is one of the best surprises i had recently. Thanks again, HOS, for posting these amazing videos.

THANK YOU! This Petula groupies must chewing the edges of their desktops right now! ;-)

This is some big production for a tour!

[HouseOnSunset]

....Which is why they had to fold in about a year.

Brava, Miss Balgord. Don't know who I like better...Helen Schneider or Balgord. An even tie for me. Stunning performance!

[SirMusicalGerry]

Im in love with her because of her facial expressions & her ability of this character! She is so strong & so deep. Doesnt loose character one bit!

Linda Balgord is simply incredible. There are no other words to describe her.

[DistantCousin]

Very good, but I think far too young to really convince as a 50 year old!

[delpa1986]

i have a photo w her after the cincinnati show

@dametrot True, but then she plagued the US Tour circuit and knocked poor Linda into obscurity.

Mesmeric what an amazing performance, I had no idea about this first tour in US.

unfortunately Sunset does seem to require a name as the star just because of the size of original production for what really is just a main cast of 5 or so. (I saw Betty Buckley in london)

even for the revival we've just had which starred Kathryn Evans(who is superb), was tiny but very arty didnt really run cause it needed a big name.

If its any consolation Petula Clark closed the london pretty quickly ...!

This is the scene from the musical that ruins the same scene from the movie. In the movie- which admittedly was written to be more bittersweet than dramatic- her reaction to the spotlight is more "oh, okay" and it's just a device to get other characters to notice her. In the musical when the spotlight hits her for the first time in 20 years her reaction is a combination of 'fountain of youth' and orgasm.

She's amazing!!! I have goosebumps all over!

(Side note - does anyone know where I can find vids of her in The Pirate Queen? Thanks!)

[puhuk]

she's very unique. i love her interpretation!

[JrsyBarry]

I guess so. I don't get any of it. Whay should anyone have it in fro this wonderful lady? BTW, 1092's is a typo. I meant 1920's. LOL
