Sunset Boulevard
Directed by Trent Boyum
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Book & Lyrics by Don Black & Christopher Hampton
In her mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded silent-screen goddess Norma Desmond lives in a fantasy world. Impoverished screenwriter Joe Gillis, on the run from debt collectors, stumbles into her reclusive domain. Persuaded to work on Norma’s “masterpiece,” a film script that she believes will put her back in front of the cameras, Joe is drawn in to her luxurious lifestyle.
A tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning masterwork of dreams and desire in the land called Hollywood includes the lush, swelling standards “With One Look,” “As If We Never Said Goodbye” and “Perfect Year.”
