I haven’t seen Sunset Boulevard before
and I was always under the impression it was a cold and nasty play about people
who were out for themselves and didn’t care about anyone else.
It probably could be performed in that
way but that wasn’t the case in this performance. I actually found it a very
moving performance and different forms of love seem to be really important.
There’s also a lot of tragedy in this play. If there is any coldness and
nastiness in this musical, it comes from the world of theatre (not that it’s
always like that) rather than the characters who all seem like victims of the
theatre in different ways.
