Every woman who plays this role will bring something different to the part. If you don't like Glenn Close in this role, then deal with it.

Probably one of the greatest performances OF ALL TIME!

Patti was just a caricature of herself. Betty Buckley, Glenn Close and Elaine Paige were all vastly superior. Sorry to say Ms. Lupone has not done anything worthy since Evita. Her Rose in Gypsy was another over blown caricature of herself. Sad, too, because she had such promise. Her role as herself in Will and Grace says it all.

I would suggest you research a bit more into silent films. I can't say I've seen Patti perform, but I believe Glen captured the acting of the silent film era. Also being a fan of the original film and Gloria Swanson, I'd say she matches up quite well.

@sabrinafair2 norma desmond is supposed to be fucking nuts. glenn is fantastic at playing psychopaths. have you seen fatal attraction?
-
Glenn Close was the original actress to play Norma and when her contract ended so did the show. Patti is a phenom but this part was owned by Glenn, only one Betty, Patti and Glenn.

@sabrinafair2 Over-acting? Pfft. How would you expect a silent movie star to act?!
-
LuPone is far, far superior
-
@sabrinafair2 She isn't overacting, shes acting bigger and with more energy which is necessary for the stage, especially one as big as the beacon theatre where the tonys are held. Only on camera does it appear as 'over-acting'. She is an astounding stage actress, probably better on the stage than film actually.
