Readers want to know if Barba Streisand will be in a ‘Sunset Boulevard’ movie musical, if Candace Cameron Bure is no longer on Hallmark, what happened to the British series ‘Sex Education,’ and where to catch ‘Still Standing.’
You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: I had heard years ago that Barbra Streisand had bought the movie rights to the “Sunset Boulevard” musical. Do you know if she or anyone has plans to produce this project? I think the time should be now as Streisand is more than age appropriate for playing Norma Desmond. Hugh Jackman should be cast as the male lead to make a major billing impact. Let’s campaign to make this happen before it’s too late.
A: Streisand, 81, has certainly gotten additional attention lately thanks to her much-praised memoir “My Name Is Barbra.” She has performed songs from the “Sunset Boulevard” musical based on the 1950 movie. And onstage the musical has enjoyed many revivals, with Nicole Scherzinger starring in a recent one.
