Audios
London, The Adelphi 7:30pm - March 1994
Norma Desmond – Patti LuPone, Joe Gillis – Gerard Casey, Betty Schaefer – Meredith Braun, Max Von Mayerling – Daniel Benzali
This is the last ever performance that Patti Lupone gave as Norma Desmond. This is also the final night for most of the OLC. Gerard Casey (who wasn’t the original Joe) is better than Kevin Anderson. After this performance the show was revamped before having its next star: Betty Buckley. A great recording, and as I know, the only with Patti.
