Broadway Sunset Will Be Open Ended Run — Page 2

Broadway Flash said: "Bring on all the great movie stars. Emma Stone, Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, Sienna Miller, Michelle Williams, I’d love to see Angelina Jolie in the role."

Do you have any clue about this score and its demands?

The only thing that was respected in this production was the reasonably high standard of singing.

People said the same thing about Glenn Close when she got cast, replacing Patti Lupone who I guess wasn’t as well received in the show. If Nicole only gave good vocals, this would not be a success. It’s her acting and the entire performance.

I guess we don't care about the age-appropriateness of the actresses mentioned here.

I'm assuming a 12-week run announcement for Nicole is specifically to drive up ticket prices, and then she'll extend another month or two after initial sales/reviews.

100% NOT going to happen. Glenn Close is wrong for this particular production of Sunset Boulevard in every way.

"

That show was capitalized for under $10m. I think it may have been as low as $7m. Comparing recoupments pre-Covid to those post is not a fair comparison.


Echoing the others here who have said it’s ridiculous to think that they’d commit to bring this in with just a 12 week commitment from Nicole. She’s in it through the Tonys at least. They may do a Merrily and announce “extensions” but it’s 100% the plan to have this running with Nicole into summer 2025 at the St. James.
