This lush and sweeping tale of Hollywood’s darker side features one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best scores, including the hit songs Sunset Boulevard, With One Look, As If We Never Said Goodbye and the number one hit The Perfect Year.
Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of ‘talkies’.
Joe Gillis, on the run from repossession agents finds himself at Norma’s faded, dilapidated mansion. “You used to be in pictures – you used to be big?” Joe asks, to which Norma responds, “I am big… it’s the pictures that got small!” Their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.
