About the Show

Nicole Scherzinger stars in this Tony Award® nominated revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical.

Nicole Scherzinger takes center stage as Norma Desmond in the Broadway revival of Sunset Boulevard, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical. Scherzinger, reprising her critically acclaimed role from London’s West End, delivers a powerful portrayal of the fading silent film star clinging to the remnants of her past fame. Set in her crumbling Hollywood mansion, Desmond's obsessive desire to return to the spotlight entwines with young screenwriter Joe Gillis, leading to a haunting tale of love, ambition, and tragedy.

The production, with a score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, brings a timeless story of stardom’s highs and lows to life.

Directed by Tony Award nominee Jamie Lloyd, this production transitions from its West End success to Broadway, offering a poignant and mesmerizing exploration of Hollywood’s golden age.

"is not so much an achievement as a stunt, like reanimating that dead chimpanzee. The revival is... a completely new way of not looking at one. The waste! It makes me almost sad enough to weep a 10-foot glycerin tear.”

“Lloyd’s Sunset Boulevard pulls you into a theatrical universe all its own. Because of his no-scenery aesthetic, it’s not always clear where moments are happening… The story gets deathly serious, but this production is spiked with humor.”
