SUNSET BLVD. is the thrilling new reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit 1993 musical, which was based on the classic 1950 film of the same name. Starring Nicole Scherzinger – in her Broadway debut – as Norma Desmond, the Broadway revival opens at the St. James Theatre in September 2024 after transferring from a smash run on London’s West End. The musical tells the tragic story of Joe Gillis, a screenwriter struggling to make it in the Golden Age of Hollywood, whose life becomes wildly enmeshed with Desmond’s as the fading starlet claws her way back from obscurity. Featuring show-stopping numbers like “With One Look,” “The Greatest Star of All” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye,” the revival of the Tony-winning drama will teach Broadway lovers new ways to dream with a modern take on the classic tale of Hollywood stardom, glamor and the refusal to surrender your dreams.???

The show was amazing, Glenn Close was truly the star of the show. The storyline is a little scandalous but it keeps your attention with suspense the whole way through. Costumes were fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
Glenn Close owns this role. She has the ability to bring out all of your emotions. I wasn't aware that she could sing, and that certainly isn't her strongest point, but it didn't matter because her acting even came through her singing. A powerful play! Another real plus was that the orchestra was right on stage behind the performers!
The show was wonderful and best of all Glen Close was magnificent, there were so many standing ovation during the show because her performance was so great !!!
Sunset Boulevard was fabulous! Glenn Close was so brilliant playing the part of Norma Desmond. The entire cast was wonderful and so much fun to watch. I have the CD and had listened to it over and over again even before I watched the Broadway play. It was everything I imagined it would be. I wish it was playing longer as I would go back and see it again! I left the theater with the most vibrant feeling. What a wonderful afternoon in the Palace Theater!
I loved everything about this show, the sets, the music, the performers... And Glenn Close is still scary as hell.
Glenn Close absolutely stole this show although there were strong performances throughout. From the moment she walked on the stage, she captivated the audience and there were points where the applause and standing ovations delayed the show. She was brilliant! Also, the actor playing Max had a wonderful solo number that left the audience wanting more. I'd highly recommend this show and would love to see it again
I saw the show last year in London and was mesmerized! But this time it crowned everything. Although Glenn Close had a little cold and problems with her voice it was captivating, emotional and breathtaking! So glad I came to NY for this show!!
Glenn Close was amazing her voice soared behind a 40 piece orchestra. Everyone on this cast is amazing voices incredible. Sad to see it go
Glenn Close was phenomenal -- an even better vocalist than she was the first time round, with the bigger, grander set. The 40-piece orchestra as her back up adds a lot to the performance. The rest of the cast was also terrific. Sadly, I can't recommend that you go see this show as we attended the last performance. But she might be back
Once again the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber carries the story forward. His compositions and the power of his music elicits emotions in the audience as no other composer has done previously. Glenn Close outdid herself.
