Why see Sunset Boulevard?
THE SEVEN TIME OLIVIER AWARD WINNING REVIVAL HEADS TO BROADWAY
Andrew Lloyd Webber will be represented on Broadway once again in this Olivier Award winning revival of Sunset Boulevard by the Jamie Lloyd Company. Featuring lyrics and a book by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, Olivier award winning Nicole Scherzinger will reprise her role as Hollywood has-been Norma Desmond alongside Tom Francis as screenwriter Joe. A thrilling portrait of fame, and the lengths some will go to hold onto it, it includes powerful tunes including the titular 'Sunset Boulevard', 'As If We Never Said Goodbye', 'With One Look' and 'The Perfect Year'.
A five star hit when it ran in London's West End in winter 2023 before scooping seven Olivier Awards at the 2024 ceremony, don't miss this incredible revival when it makes its Broadway bow!
What is the story?
Desperate for a comeback, outmoded Norma Demons enlists the services of wide-eyed screenwriter Joe Gillis, believing he can save her career. But for Joe, helping Norma comes at too heavy a price, despite the wonder of her luxurious lifestyle. When Joe loses his heart to budding writer Betty, Norma sees her chance slipping away and decides to act - with tragic consequences.

Entertaining, Breathless and incredible
How to reinvent a 30-year-old musical that has only recently enjoyed a star-studded major revival? A question that undoubtedly must have troubled The Jamie Lloyd company, but thankfully not for long...

With one look!
II am a theater buff, and I have seen nearly all the great musicals staged in the
past 40 years, including Sunset Blvd with Patti Lupone in London.
Glenn Close's artistry is staggering. From beginning to end, the audience was
ecstatic. The excitement was palpable.
Be prepared for prolonged, thunderous ovations and many curtain calls. Not
only is she the "greatest star of all," this is the greatest show of all.
See it!!! ... Read more
