Photo Flash: First Look at CLOC's SUNSET BOULEVARD

In 1950, Billy Wilder wrote and directed what is now regarded as one of the finest movies ever made - Sunset Boulevard, starring silent screen legend Gloria Swanson as silent screen legend Norma Desmond. A biting, incisive insight into the star system of the ‘old' Hollywood, set in the era when talkies had overtaken silent movies, Sunset Boulevard became an instant smash hit, a multi-award winning success (nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning 3), an all-time classic and is regularly featured on the ‘top ten' lists of best movies ever made.

BWW REVIEWS: Superb Cast and Sets Make CCMT's SUNSET BOULEVARD Broadway Quality

Andrew Lloyd Webber's indisputable claim to fame, "The Phantom of the Opera," has made the composer a favorite of Broadway, West End and the masses. But while "Phantom" has its highly notable songs and romantic, breathtaking story, Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" surpasses it on so many levels. With musical themes that convey the rich setting and psychological motivations of complex characters, the show sweeps audiences away, deep into a glamorous, but dramatic world that captivates all who watch and listen with relatable themes, exquisite music and grand story that could not be told to more perfection. Contra Costa Musical Theatre adds to that perfection of musical storytelling with sublime acting, singing, costumes and sets.
