Tony Award Winning Musical SUNSET BOULEVARD Opens This November at The White Theatre
Don't miss your opportunity to see the spectacular Sunset Boulevard, a haunting musical allegory for life in Hollywood, is a rarely-produced Broadway masterpiece with a lush melodic score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Based on the classic Billy Wilder 1950 film, it won seven Tony Awards on Broadway in 1995, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score and Best Actress.
Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Norma Desmond, a faded star of the silent screen era, is living in the past in her decaying mansion on the fabled Los Angeles street. Longing for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of 'talkies.' Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When young screenwriter Joe Gillis, a struggling writer from Dayton accidentally crosses her path he tragically becomes ensnared in Norma's web of illusion. Their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.
