Listen "Sunset Boulevard (feat. Tom O'Brien)"
Episode Synopsis
It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance, and assessing the project itself. This week, writer Tom O'Brien joins me to dive into Glenn's Tony-winning performance in the Broadway musical Sunset Boulevard! We discuss Glenn's glorious solo numbers, the inconsistent score, how it compares with the 1950 movie on which it's based, all the messy behind-the-scenes drama involving Patti LuPone and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and so much more!
