Andrew Lloyd Webber’s acclaimed stage musical adaptation of Billy Wilder’s 1950 film, Sunset Boulevard, weaves a tragic tale of faded grandeur and unsatisfied ambition in the cutthroat world of Hollywood. David Richards, of the New York Times, wrote that Sunset Boulevard “charts the relationship between an out-of-work screenwriter looking to rustle up a buck or two, and the forgotten star (Norma Desmond) who sees him rejuvenating not only her career, but also her love life. If she’s a spider, he’s a leech. Both are opportunists and thrive on blood.” The multi-Tony Award winning musical sold over a million tickets on Broadway and includes such moving favorites as “With One Look,” “New Ways to Dream,” “Sunset Boulevard,” and the smash hit “As If We Never Said Goodbye.” Under the masterful direction of Summer Lyric’s Artistic Director, B. Michael Howard, this New Orleans premiere will move you and leave you longing for those bygone days of golden Hollywood glamour. As Norma says, “I am big … it’s the pictures that got small!”
