Sunset Boulevard: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony-Winning Musical
Carpenter Performing Arts Center, CSULB (Long Beach, CA)
Hollywood noir meets Broadway razzle-dazzle in Sunset Boulevard, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of Billy Wilder’s classic film. Complemented by one of Webber’s most radiant scores, Sunset Boulevard is every bit as enthralling, dark and delicious as the original black-and-white masterpiece. Sidelined by the introduction of “talkies,” silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen. Her neediness and cunning provide the perfect trap for down-and-out screenwriter Joe Gillis who wanders into her decaying mansion looking for a quick buck … and gets much more in return.
