The way she impersonates the silent screen actress, in gesture and in facial expression, is truly remarkable.

Search the video "Fatal Attraction the Musical" (you're welcome 😉)

Saw Glenn Close in the Broadway revival several years one week before lt was to close. I had never seen the show but the audience was full of devotees. Standing ovations at each of Norma’s signature moments. The finale brought tears and prolonged loud applause. I had tears and goose bumps. After the show my partner and I ran into one of the musicians at the street corner. I complemented her on the performance, and she said the audience was one of the best during the entire run: respectful of the performers, enthusiastic at the appropriate times, and completely in love with the show. She said people don’t realize how important the audience is for the success or failure of each individual performance. Glad I was there to be a part of it.

Glenn Close is so great in this role. What a fantastic voice and what a performance to be treasured always. Her phrasing is perfect. I wish that they would make a movie with her in the role of Norma. With the right director she could finally win the Academy Award. "All those wonderful people out there in the dark" would fill the seats in the theaters.

Have always thought of Glenn Close as a remarkable, superb dramatic actress, but somehow MISSED that INCREDIBLE singing voice! Good grief! The clarity, the power, the range, the subtle shading of emotion! Thank you for this unforgettable performance, Ms. Close (and to all who bought it to my attention). Bellissima!!!

We can only hope that, since pro-shots are becoming increasingly popular thanks to Hamilton, then they might release it someday

I saw her on Broadway in this role when she reprised it a few years ago. The production was kinda meh, but she was legendary. I have NEVER experienced a longer standing ovation and screams for encore in my life. And it wasn’t for the show, but all for her.

We saw the closing night of this….and I’ve never seen an audience embrace an actor as intensely as we all did Ms. Close.

She breathed life into Norma Desmond. Academy Awards owes her so many Oscars over.

4:15 that growl always gets me 🥲❤ she’s so crazy talented!!

The is the best performance of this song I have ever heard and seen. Argue with a wall

She can also Act a song better than anyone.❤

Without a doubt, Glenn Close is the most wronged actress in the history of cinema. Total lack of respect, consideration and humanity the Academy of Oscars never gave her a statuette. An extremely talented, unique, special, competent, deserving, magnanimous actress ... who unfortunately never had the recognition she truly deserves. It was already for Glenn Close to have at least 3 Oscars. I hope that justice will finally be done at the Oscar 2021 with her interpretation of the film Hilbilly Elegy. I hope Netflix will make a heavy and strong campaign. The Academy will never be able to correct all the regrettable injustices that Glenn Close suffered throughout his career. This movie star cannot die without winning an Oscar. Let the entire voting public have a minimum of compassion and empathy. God bless Glenn Close. Justice for Glenn Close! 🥇👑 #Oscars2021 #GlennCloseDeservesOscar #HilbillyElegy #Netflix #GlennClose #Oscar2021 #JusticeForGlennClose

But this, the moment Glenn Close was awarded just a honorary Oscar or what they call the "Death Bed" Oscar is the moment the Academy will reveal itself to have wronged, underappreciated and took for granted a talent that is Glenn.

Not everything is about the Oscars. She won a Tony Award for this, the role of Norma Desmond. She is not "most wronged." Also, Hillbilly Elegy was a bad movie.

Glenn Close really made Sunset Boulevard come to life for me. Her range and acting really fit the gravitas of a golden age actress coming back to a space that she considers home but everyone else has rendered irrelevant. It would be awesome if she reprised this role again. She’d bring a new energy to Norma!

I watch this at least 1 per month. Everything about it is fabulous ❤

Saw her in New york she was spectacular....🕊🇺🇲💕

One of Glenn Close's very best performances ever.

she's absolutely mesmerizing. that beginning, she pulls everyone in with her brilliance of character. there is no other like Glenn.

She hasn't won an Oscar, what a wonderful actress and singer

I had no idea she has such a gorgeous voice. Why she doesn't make an album is beyond me.

Flawless. A beautiful performance both vocals and acting spot on. Wonderful

Saw her perform this in Vancouver, Canada YEARS ago... she was great

extraordinarily wonderful

i discovered this performance a couple of weeks ago, i had no idea about the story or the movie. However, i got connected with Glenn's performance that i did my research. I just wanna say is that Glenn made a great performance, she has a beautiful voice, so warm, so expressive so she made a very rich rendition of this song and expose differente emotions the character had through the song. I loved it.

Saw her in this role on Broadway in 2017, and it was incredible. I have seen plenty of theatre, and I've never seen an ovation nearly as long the one she got after this song. She acts the hell out of this role.

It sends a chill on your spine. And you never thought that Glenn Close as she is can sing her role here in Sunset Blvd. I always go back to watching this as my stress reliever. Can we have a remake of Sunset Blvd. IN A MOVIE? With her still to portray Norma Desmond? Please, Lord, let it be.❤

The most vivid, alive, and transcendent performance (live or otherwise) of Ms.Desmond.

OMG! it's the first time I hear Glenn Close sing, she has a such beautiful voice ! I wish we would be able to watch the whole show ... I loved the old b&w movie :)

What a powerful voice! Her acting is also phenomenal! I had literal chills.

BRAVO Glenn Close!! I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to see this performance back in 1994. I look forward to the reopening of Broadway.

Glenn Close , for me , was the Best Norma Desmond. Amazing actress

I had the unbelievable remarkable experience of watching her perform this when I was a high school junior in 1994 in New York City. It has never left me. Yes Glenn you did teach the world new ways to dream.

I'm watching in genuine awe. I'm performing this song for a concert in two weeks. This performance is what I want to live up to. The acting choices Glenn makes here are stunning and so fitting to the piece. The way she commands the music and lyrics to match her emotion is just incredible. An iconic woman. I can only hope to one day be as incredible as her.

A beautiful song, perfectly sung and acted as you can see she is acting the role of Norma Desmond as she sings the song. Sunset Boulevard is such a sad story about a woman slowly going mad, especially how it ends with her saying she is ready for her close up now as she is taken into the asylum.

A very happy birthday 🎂 Love you in Sunset boulevard ❤️🇨🇦

She destroyed this role for anyone else who attempts it. Phenomenal. Talented wonderful.

I have a theory, that we can't have a movie made with every great woman of Hollywood altogether present, because having all that talent in one room is gonna tear a hole in the fabric of reality, so we get one great per movie or stage to keep the balance of the universe intact

Saw her in London in its first week. Live is far more magical. Totally mesmerising performance. Always see SB when get the chance xx

Omg what a voice wow
