Thanks for sharing this jewel. Amazing. I saw it on Broadway with Elaine Paige. The stage was bigger than the Adelphi's, and script, set design, and orchestrations were very much improved at the Minskoff run. It is the greatest show I have ever seen to date.

anyone else get the feeling this was filmed from either a monitor in the Stage Manager's office or on the Mezzanine since there is no color to the video?
The recent revival definitely not my taste. This original is the only one I will pay to see. Many friends were also dissapointed with the revival. Nicole is good but the original staging very much missed.

This is a video of Patti performing "As If We Never Said Goodbye" at a charity benefit. It is in glorious color so you can actually see her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4fCfmmPg5Vsa68si=fYaxv2p3hyvZ-MN0

I was there - Adelphi Theater - September 1993- Great production and wonderful memories. Pity the film was never made with, who else,? than Glenn Close. This winter it was another production at Savoy Theater - West End which was well praised but this one I didn't see it. 🌟

That scream at 2:18:41 sounds JUST like the recorded scream in the OBC cast album when this part comes up. Is there a chance that they stopped having Mrs Lovett actually scream every night and just reverted to a recorded scream to save the actress’ vocal cords??

Lupone didn't get rave reviews from the American critics. Glenn did. Hence they went with Glenn. There was literally millions of bucks at stake, insipid show or not.

Sunset Boulevard was the first musical that I saw on Broadway. It starred Glenn Close, whom I felt was miscast. Glenn Close has great acting ability, but she did not have the vocal range needed for the role of Norma Desmond as it was written. Still, Glenn Close won the Tony. Her only competition that year was Rebecca Lukar in Show Boat. I wish that Patti LuPone had performed the role on Broadway instead. I think that Patti LuPone and Andrew Lloyd Webber had a big disagreement that prevented her from getting the role when it came to Broadway. I remember reading that Faye Dunaway played Norma Desmond on the West Coast before Sunset Boulevard came to Broadway. Faye Dunaway was very disappointed that she did not get the role when it moved to Broadway. If Sunset Boulevard was revived for Broadway today, I think that Patti LuPone could still give a great performance if Andrew Lloyd Webber would permit that. I wonder what others think?

Thank you, bia! Isn't it fascinating to observe the drafts of theatre evolution? There are portions of this one which fully trounce upon the later creations. The core of entire Let's Do Lunch studio section is superior in its use of dialogue. By contrast the guitar strum accompanying "The Lady's Paying" is hideous. Editing & futzing occasionally becomes an impediment to original vein.

The staging reminds me of Cirque du Soleil IRIS which called the Dolby/Kodak Theatre home for a few seasons. Now I see where IRIS got it’s design inspiration, especially the use of masking to focus the eye of the viewer and to frame interstitial on-stage action.
