It is only a matter of time before "Sunset Blvd" get a revival. The play closed of Broadway over 10 years ago. Since no movie was ever made a revival isn't too far fetched!
So when the play gets remounted Vanessa Williams should play Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd Revival . Before any of you say "No" hear me out. This play Needs a Star. A huge star. Vanessa has been in the public eye for 25 years. People love a good comeback story. Vanessa Williams is a survivor. The she is the definition of survivor.
Norma Desmond is a very hard role to play. For some reason it needs to be played by a hge star. For some reason that play needs a huge name. Now Vanessa has the acting and singing chops to do the role.
Audiences need to feel a connection to the character of Norma. Glenn Close did a great legendary performance. ( I also think Patti Lupone was used for her name to get funding for the first production).
Vanessa would bring a huge amounts people into the theatre that otherwise would never the musical. She would bring fans of "Ugly Betty","African Americans", & more.
With Vanessa in the role the play would get huge amounts of press. SO
GO FOR IT ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER.
