Sunset Boulevard

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Book and Lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton

SUNSET BOULEVARD weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of 'talkies.' Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets struggling Hollywood screen-writer Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion. SUNSET BOULEVARD takes place in Hollywood between 1949 and 1950.
Cast: Principals 2 Male, 2 Female.; Featured 4 Men + ensemble
