“Sarah Brightman’s audacious performance unleashes the full potential of Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece in this glittering homage to the Golden Age of Broadway.” – Limelight
“Sarah Brightman is revelatory as Norma Desmond, and her being cast in this production is a brilliant move. The layers to her performance run deep.” – City Hub
“[Sarah’s] performance is one of endless elegance, even at her most vulnerable … But it is Brightman’s vocals that are worth the price of admission. The greatest performers suspend time, hypnotising you with the beauty of song. Brightman is one of those performers and always will be.” – Scenstr
