Aging actress Norma Desmond attempts a bold return to the big screen in this grand musical adaptation of the Billy Wilder film. While her glamour has faded, her unfulfilled ambition has not. When she meets a struggling Hollywood screen-writer, Norma seizes the opportunity to restore her long-dormant career to its former glory. Sunset Boulevard features a lush score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a haunting glimpse at the power of self-deception.

"Outlandishly good...full of rich and swelling melodies." The New York Times
