I haven't posted in forever, but saw this pop back up and ad to!

I also know from reading articles online that Debra was rumored to be battling some type of addiction at the time of the show and as someone else previously stated, she was going through a nasty divorce at the time.

There is a pretty decent documentary floating around out there about the show launching in Australia and the renovation of the theater it played it.

Remember that Sunset was supposed to be the next big megamusical, when megamusical's were already on their way out of vogue. The show had a very hard time sustaining anywhere where there was not a genuine star performance. The controversy caused by the LuPone vs. Close fiasco gave the Original Broadway run so much free press, that combined with pretty stellar reviews for Close in LA, it was no wonder the show banked a huge amount at the box office to start. I believe the show also closed ahead of schedule in Canada, Germany as stated, Australia.

Slightly off-topic, but if anyone is interested PM me- I think I am finally going to part with the portrait of Norma (Glenn) that hung over the staircase on Broadway. I have pictures of it and it is in Near Mint condition. I love it so much and paid good money for it, but it's a shame that it sits in storage!

Again, slighty off topic but don't forget that Debra Byrne sings Fantaine in the Les Miserables International Cast Recording
