I went to see Sunset Boulevard on Broadway 20+ years ago.

It was so bad that I laughed (literally) all through the production. It was as close to Springtime For Hitler as you could get. I mean tears from my eyes, gasping for air, that kind of laughing from Act I to taking the bows. When the cast came for their Curtain Calls, there were those in seats around us who actually gave a standing ovation, which propelled me into greater hysterical laughter.

If the production had been meant as a satire, I could have understood the experience. But they were playing it straight.

Awful, but yet, one of the best times I've had in the theater.

No, Glenn Close was not performing that night.
