Video: Sarah Brightman Talks Becoming Norma Desmond, Bringing SUNSET BOULEVARD to Asia, and More!

Sarah Brightman is returning to the role of Norma Desmond as Sunset Boulevard arrives in Singapore this February. In a new interview, Brightman talked about how she gets into character, and more.

"By probably about mid-day I start becoming Norma," she shared. "It's just a thought process for me, by the time I walk on that stage, I am that person. I'm fully focused into that life, that time."

Brightman also talked about bringing the production to Asia for the first time. 

"It's always fun to work in other countries but it's a different culture and they'll be seeing different things in it, so I do enjoy that experience always," she said.
