About Sunset Boulevard

Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Boulevard focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.

Once in a blue moon production with spectacular vocal performances!
"I saw "Sunset Boulevard" in its second week back in November with a friend, and brought my husband to New York in April for our anniversary so that I could see the Nicole Scherzinger-led production a second time. The show is just that good. Every time she sings on that stage, one feels like it is a once-in-a-blue-moon vocal EXPERIENCE. Her voice is spot-on, nuanced and commanding. Scherzinger's comedic moments and facial expressions have grown in the past few months. The entire cast is top notch; kudos to Tom Francis for such a strong performance, as well. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see the show a second time, but I truly won the lottery in that I was lucky enough to be at the April 25 evening performance with both Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jamie Lloyd in the house. What a thrill to experience the production a second time AND have the opportunity to see both the director and composer onstage afterwards. I'm looking forward to this year's Tony season. Whether the cast and production is nominated/awarded by the Tony voters as much as I feel they should be, I know that Scherzinger, Francis, Lloyd and company have already won by producing such a startling and emotional Broadway musical. I can't imagine any other production winning out over them. If the Hollywood powers that be don't throw out their initial movie casting thoughts and instead take this opportunity to headline Scherzinger and Francis on film, it will be a loss for all of us. Bravo to the entire SUNSET BOULEVARD Broadway production."

Great show
"Aside from me not being able to fit in my seat, I'm 6'8" with super long legs lol, the show was awesome! I've had a huge crush on Nicole Scherzinger since I was a teenager, so seeing her perform in her debut Broadway show was amazing. Hopefully she'll perform in more plays in the future. All in all I would definitely recommend this show to everyone. If you're a fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber or you're looking for a great musical to take your date/significant other/partner to this show is for you."

Letting my daughter pick the play
"I didn’t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed the play. I enjoyed the way the story was told. There weren’t elaborate customers or set decorations, but the play didn’t need them. All of the actors gave wonderful performances! I’m so glad my daughter suggested we see it! "

A magical night at the theatre.
"I saw the original with Glen Close and it was like seeing an entirely different show. The director's interpretation was genius. The first sign that I was being transported to a magical show was when Nicole Scherzinger sang and tears started spilling from my eyes. Not because something terrible happened it was from sheer joy on how powerful and beautiful her voice and interpretation of the song was. The same is to be said about the rest of the cast. This is the best of the best. With that being said it was absolutely fantastic. "

Nicole Scherzinger, where have you been for so long
"I've seen a lot of musicals, but this tops them all. Imaginative, loud, and quiet at the same time. The first ten minutes of the second act—I've never seen anything like this. An incredibly good cast, and Nicole Scherzinger? Where have you been all these years? For me, the best leading role of all time! THANK YOU"

Scherziner sizzles in the Sunset
"I could look at and listen to Nicole Scherzinger all day and all night. What a talented actress. And listening to her sing "With One Look" and "It's As If We Never Said Goodbye" is pure magic. And the thunderous standing ovation after each takes your breath away."

Scherzinger Delivers!!!
"Nicole Scherzinger delivers a powerhouse performance as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, proving she is a force to be reckoned with in musical theatre. From the moment she steps onto the stage, Scherzinger commands attention with a mesmerizing blend of vulnerability, grandeur, and raw emotion. Her vocal performance is hauntingly beautiful, showcasing her impressive range and ability to convey deep, layered emotion. She effortlessly transitions from fragile whispers to dramatic crescendos making this performance nothing short of spectacular!"

Mad about the show!
"I’ve loved the show since the 90s and this brand new production made me fall completely out of my seat. The rewrite, the reimagining is genius and the performances are out of this world. I hope everyone is making room for their Tonys!!! I bawled for an hour straight (that’s a good thing) - Mrs. A"
