Alan Campbell the Unsung Hero of the Broadway Musical Sunset Boulevard Blvd


 In 1994 Alan Campbell debut in the Los Angeles run of "Sunset Blvd" and its a role he re-created on Broadway.  He played Joe Gillis opposite Glenn Close,Betty Buckley and Elaine Paige".  Now the ladies who played Norma got all the attention however had it not been for Alan Campbell the show would of failed.  Other people played Joe but nobody had a handle like Alan..  

I know if the show ever gets a revival it would never be the "8th Wonder of the World Edition".  That's too bad.  It was an amazing show.  The scaled down versions that I have seen are not very good.  Then again none of them had Alan Campbell.
