About Sunset Boulevard
Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece follows the story of Norma Desmond, a fading silent film star who holds on to her hopes of fame and adoration - but life in 1950s Los Angeles is both glamorous and relentlessly cruel, and Norma will do whatever it takes to make her triumphant return to the big screen a reality.
Consumed by her own delusions of grandeur, Norma resides in an unkempt mansion on Hollywood boulevard. Isolated from reality, she conjures plans for her grand return. Sunset Boulevard is a timely production that explores the effects of obsession in the glitz and cynicism of a city where dreams broken and egos collide.
