Three-time Tony Award-winner Glenn Close took her final bow today as "Norma Desmond" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award-winning masterpiece, Sunset Boulevard. Close originated the role on Broadway in 1994, winning her a Tony Award and critical acclaim. After making her West End debut in bravura sold-out limited engagement at the English National Opera (ENO) in April 2016, winning an Evening Standard Award, Close made a triumphant return to Broadway for a limited engagement.

Andrew Lloyd Webber was in the audience (and then onstage) to see Close's final performance in this iconic role.
