Lupone defined Evita, but then she sort of disappeared—with regional theatre, a TV show we’ve all forgotten about, and some successes in London.
After the hullabaloo around Sunset Blvd, she returned in Anything Goes. She was the hometown gal, and NYC embraced her partially because of how badly Lloyd Webber and the West End had treated her.
Then of course she went from success to success: Sweeney Todd, Noises Off, Gypsy etc.
Was Sunset Blvd the catalyst for her path to becoming an icon? |
