Sunset Boulevard 1993 - Articles Page 1.8

Today, BroadwayWorld is remembering Stephen Sondheim, and celebrating Andrew Lloyd Webber, both of whom share March 22nd as their birthday!

After a long run production in Niedernhausen in 1995, Sunset Boulevard has returned frequently in many local theatre productions throughout Germany. The stage adaption of Billy Wilder’s film tells the story of Norma Desmond, a glamorous diva and celebrated star during the silent movie era who lives seclusively and forgotten in a luxury villa on Sunset Boulevard. When she meets Joe Gillis by coincidence, an ambitious but unsuccessful screenwriter, she hires him on the spot to review her own script. Very soon, Joe Gillis finds himself trapped in a spiral of feeding his own ambition by founding false hopes.

Skylight Music Theatre today announced the partial cast, creative team and a one-day sale for the Wisconsin premiere of Dennis DeYoung’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, running May 20 through June 12, 2022.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new album, Symphonic Suites, is released today on Decca Records. Music from three of the composer’s best-loved musicals – Phantom of the Opera, Evita, and Sunset Boulevard – is arranged for the 81-piece Andrew Lloyd Webber Orchestra and captured in a stunning recording at Lloyd Webber’s own Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed that production on the Sunset Boulevard film starring Glenn Close has been stalled. Close originated the role of Norma Desmond on Broadway in 1994 before returning to the role in the recent revival.

In a dark, mauve-curtained room, on the fourth floor of a hotel, around 7:15 p.m. on August 26th, the lights began to dim, and a scattered audience of socially distanced cabaret goers erupted into cheers and applause as Ellen Marlow bounded onto the stage. Marlow was at The Green Room 42 performing 'Silver Linings'.

The 60th anniversary production of Beckett's masterwork Happy Days, newly opened at west London's Riverside Studios, is indistinguishable from the keen eye of its director, Trevor Nunn, who across more than six decades has contributed many of the most significant (not to mention quite a few of the best) productions in my experience. We look back at a seismic career and select five productions for the ages.

Glenn Close has given further information about the long-awaited film adaptation of Sunset Boulevard. Close was asked if we will ever get to see her revive her iconic role of Norma Desmond on the big screen.

And so, below are five Lloyd Webber stagings that I shall long remember, several of which (COVID permitting) may be back amongst us in due course.
