With Patti Lupone winning the Tony Award the other night it got me to think of "Sunset Blvd". The musical version of the 1950 Billy Wilder film. Its been rumored that "Meryl Streep" , "Glenn Close" and yes Barbra Streisand are all circling the movie hoping to get the plume role. It also been rumored the "Cher" "Bette Middler" & Liza Minnelli" are in the running as well.
Well I still think Patti Lupone should play the role. She can sing. Its a musical after all and not a drama. I know that Patti was fired from playing Norma Desmond. However she was never given a chance to do the revised book.
I think she is amazing and Andrew Lloyd Webber doesn't cast her in the movie then he should do a revival of the play and let her do the role on Broadway. If he did that would make headlines and sell tickets. And yes Patti would win another Tony!
