| "...bold new vision..." = cheaper production values, and I very much doubt we'll get the full original orchestrations. Ms. Scherzinger has a spectacular voice, and reads too young for it (yes, she's the same age Patti LuPone was when the original production opened in 1993, more or less, but Ms. LuPone also seemed a bit too young for it - and Ms. Scherzinger now looks younger than Ms. LuPone did back then.) And having said all that, I'm sure I'll see it. |

| I think it's important to remember in these discussion that 45-50 in 1950 is not the same as 45-50 today. A 45-50 year old woman today can be glamorous, youthful, in her prime whereas back then she may have been seen as faded and over the hill. Even to get more scientic, the life expectancy in 1950 was 65 years old, so at 45-50 you are pretty near death (lol, that sounds ominous). Today it's 80, so at 45-50 you have a lot of life still in front of you. I think the better way to look at these things is to cast someone who is believably a faded star, knowing that actors type as they read on stage can vary greatly from their actual real life ages. It is one of my least favorite things (not directed at the poster here) when people go and google an actor's age then proclaim they aren't right for a certain part because of that number. LOL. This is true at the other end of the spectrum as well. I mean Taylor Trensch can still play a teenager and he's maybe 34. |

| I shouldn't be lusting after Norma Desmond. Any Joe Gillis that doesn't go for that is a moron, even if she is murderous and insane. A small price to pay! |
