Music Theatre of Wichita will celebrate its Fabulous Fortieth Season with Sunset Boulevard, July 6 - 10. Sunset Boulevard is the haunting musical drama that Andrew Lloyd Webber created out of the 1950 film noir classic. Silent film star Norma Desmond reclusively lives forgotten in her opulent Hollywood mansion, until struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis stumbles into her web. 'You're Norma Desmond,' he realizes. 'You used to be big!' ... prompting her famous response, 'I AM big. It's the pictures that got small!' Two of Norma's ballads, 'With One Look' and 'As If We Never Said Goodbye,' became popular hits, but the whole score is terrific. Mark Madama is directing this one, too, with spectacular new sets by J Branson.
