Sunset Boulevard
Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and Christopher Hampton‘s classic musical SUNSET BOULEVARD is coming to the West End’s Savoy Theatre for 16 weeks only from September 2023!
In this reimagining by director Jamie Lloyd, Nicole Scherzinger* will star in the leading role as faded screen star Norma Desmond. Since it’s West End premiere in 1993, SUNSET BOULEVARD has been revived multiple times including a run that starred Glenn Close as Norma.
SUNSET BOULEVARD is a much loved musical based on the 1950’s Billy Wilder film of the same name. It features a score including ‘With One Look’, ‘As If We Never Said Goodbye’ and ‘The Perfect Year’.
