SARAH BRIGHTMAN To Star in Australian SUNSET BLVD. — Page 5

Friends at the first preview told me Sarah “isn’t great”, that her operatic sound isn’t at all right for the role and she isn’t acting it well.

Tim Draxl is being praised, as is the design. It’s apparently over-choreographed but what isn’t these days?

More reports to come, I’m sure.

Can you elaborate more on that? The first performance of the Australian version with Sarah has started about 1 hour ago. Basically 30 minutes before your post. Sad to read that you didn't like the first performance, which ends in about 2 hours. And that other people loved it beforehand.

It’s 11:30pm in Melbourne right now (“right now” being 930am EST). If the show started at 8pm Melbourne time at the latest, the curtain came down 45 mins or an hour ago. So the show would have ended at 1030pm or 1045pm Melbourne time, which is 830am or 845am EST.

if the show started at 7pm or 730pm, then it finished even longer ago.

Brody nothing better than basically be called a liar when google would have solved all his issues

I know, that would mean the show would still be running if it had started at 8, at the time of his post. Which is peculiar. But it turns out it started at 7, so that's indeed 1 more hour to fabricate a review, saying nothing about the performance, but elaborating on the New York and previous Australian versions and all Norma's in the world.

Rosscoe, can you telly anything about this performance? Because your whole post wasn't about it.

Go read my post. Stop posting cause you’re making yourself looking stupider every time you do.
Sarah was awful. She couldn’t sign the role , couldn’t act the role , her voice had no power.

We got short changed in Australia, instead of getting Jamie Lloyd’s thrilling new production we got this sub par one.


Now before I block you for good. Just stop

Incorrect. This has been explained three times already, but I'll try again. Rosscoe's post came at 9:03 am EDT, which is 11:03 pm in Melbourne - a little over four hours after the show started, plenty of time for someone to see the entire show and post here about it. As others have noted, you should have your ducks in a row before accusing someone of dishonesty. (On a related note, who on earth is "liking" your erroneous posts?)

I posted at 930am NYC which is 1130pm Melbourne.

Lord.

Rosscoe: can you talk more about the production elements? This seemed like it was supposed to be a spare no expense production.

The house set looked pretty cool in the bts video they released a few weeks ago. Curious how the rest look.

Did they keep any of the original costume designs? The golden New Ways To Dream robe and pants? The Mad Salome cape/headdress for the finale?

Is that audience sitting? during the curtain call?
