we were sp lucky to have Ms. Carroll in SUNSET BLVD in Toronto!

[@showtunestarpower]

The 45 seconds of Diahann Carroll singing AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE are, hopefully, 45 brilliant seconds in a complete version of this number by the great Carroll. If there is not a film somewhere for she and Rex Smith performing SUNSET BOULEVARD, it is another show business tragedy. What a powerful version of this show the Canadians were lucky to have witnessed.

There's a CD of this production. If you do a little searching you can find it.

[@alanpetrucelli5037]

I have the CD. Check Amazon. DC WAS brilliant

[@eamonndeane587]

​@@alanpetrucelli5037She truly was.
I hate that we had to say goodbye to Diahann Carroll 5 years ago.

[@Seabasstien]

Love Diahann Carroll and I love Toronto so this evening was a home run❤

[@moofygirl72]

I worked at this theatre's production of Sunset Blvd. Sure brings back some memories. Thanks for posting!

What dd you think of Diahann Carroll's performance?

[@ellennewth6305]

In my opinion, Andrew Lloyd Webber's best musical. The brilliant Diahann Carroll gives a tour-de-force performance as the iconic Norma Desmond. Theatrical dynamo Rex Smith is simply phenomenal as ill-fated screenwriter Joe Gillis. The CD of this show is available and well worth purchasing.

I traveled to London to see Patti Lupone!

Super Footage

Her Norma had such a regal and calm command - something I think only a woman who had been such a trailblazer in show business could have achieved.

[@georgiesinclair6951]

Myrna Loys glory certainly came after the silent era....

[@JorgeAl]

This was a great cast! And Dinah Carol was stunning as Norma !

[@enolamsamoht]

It's spelled Diahann Carroll.

[@williamdogan1149]

Is this. movie or a revival?

[@foreignparticle1320]

Neither. This was a promo shot for the Canadian production in the 90s.

[@BoBo-ti6jh]

Saw it in L.A. Terrible show.

[@kallen868]

Sunset is brilliant!😍

[@fariedswartz1933]

Are you serious? This show was and is brilliant.

[@joshmanfredi2432]

You’re the only one who thought so

[@hawby7mgh]

Troubled show. Great Leading Lady role.

[@user-sh4mv3tc3r]

@@joshmanfredi2432 Lots of people don't like this show. It only has 3 good songs. Many of the lyrics are awful and it is mostly about scenery.
