In a year when new musical theatre productions in London consisted of juke box transfers, classic revivals, whimsical adventure stories and majestic failures, one might be forgiven for thinking that the age of great new musicals exists merely in days of Auld Lang Syne. So let's pause and think back over the year's musical fayre.

First there was the classic, stylish Billy Wilder Hollywood 'film noire'; then there was the highly melodic but perhaps slightly overblown Trevor Nunn staging of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical; now there is the darkly stylish Craig Revel Horwood staging of the Lloyd Webber musical, transferring from a sell-out run at the Watermill Theatre, bringing Sunset Boulevard back to the West End.

An old favourite of Champagne Charlie's returns; it's SUNSET BOULEVARD will once again open on a West End stage for the 1st time in 11 years with in a brand new production opening on December 15th 2008.

Watermill Theatre's acclaimed revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard shall transfer to the West End's Comedy Theatre in December 2008. The production begins performances on December 5th.
