I don't think the debacle made LuPone a Broadway superstar, but it is sort of perfect element of her legacy.
Love her or hate her (I like her very much, but I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with her), I think a big part of her appeal is her gutsiness and determination. The fact that she went through this high profile fiasco and her career wasn't derailed because of it only adds to, and supports, that appeal.
But this thread has me thinking that dramatizing the behind the scenes of the Sunset musical is the perfect project for Ryan Murphy. More fitting than him taking on A Chorus Line. |
