In her crumbling mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded silent-screen goddess Norma Desmond lives trapped in a fantasy world of former glory — her glamour intact only in her own mind, having been discarded by Hollywood with the advent of "talkies." When impoverished screenwriter Joe Gillis stumbles into her reclusive domain while fleeing debt collectors, he is persuaded to work on her "masterpiece" — a script she believes will return her to the big screen. Seduced by Norma and her luxurious lifestyle, Joe finds himself drawn into a passionate, volatile, and claustrophobic existence, until his love for another woman compels him to break free — with tragic and unforeseen consequences.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award-winning masterwork of dreams and desire in the land called Hollywood features the lush, swelling standards "With One Look," "As If We Never Said Goodbye," and "Perfect Year.”

​Praise for SUNSET BOULEVARD
“You have to – and I mean have to – see it in person.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“Sunset Boulevard is my favorite Lloyd Webber show and his best score… a maximalist score that still feels like it came out of the golden age of Hollywood.” – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Andrew Lloyd Webber’s glorious thrill-a-minute musical bristles with lush, brooding songs apt to nestle inside your head and keep you awake at night in tormented ecstasy.” – The London Telegraph
“Broadway’s most exhilarating show in years… the audience all but levitates.” – New York Post
“A pointed critique of contemporary culture, in which it seems everyone is as obsessed by fame as the show’s deluded heroine… not to be missed.” – The Wall Street Journal
