Once in a Lifetime Revival
"I’ve seen a lot of theater, even used to act. This has some of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Additionally, it’s incredibly staged. The use of cameras is so innovative and it serves the narrative. In a Broadway full of commercialized crap, it reminded me what the theater can be. Andrew Lloyd Weber’s score is just as beautiful as it always was, hats off all around. "

Innovative remake
"Sunset Blvd ia an innovative remake which uses technology, innovative acting and fabulous music to tell the story of an actress trying to make a comeback and recruiting a struggling writer to help her. A myriad of emotions and a love triangle leads to trouble. This play keeps the audience engrossed from beginning to end. A must see!"

One of Broadways best performances
"Nicole Scherzinger stops the show at least three times. A performance which won her a Tony is well deserved. Brought tears to my eyes and that is not easy to do. A reimagined take on Sunset Blvd is breathtaking, shocking and innovative. See it before it closes."

Not your father's Andrew Lloyd Webber
"As the review's title implies, it's not your typical production of an ALW musical. No elaborate sets, simple costumes, and a lot more big screen projections. But I think it worked - it helped blur the line between reality and theater, which is what, of course, Norma Desmond is going through. Overall, I didn't think the songs were up to ALW's normal high standards, but three or four were quite enjoyable. The cast performed well."

Remarkable Talent and Creativity !
"Beyond what one sees on the stage from the primary stars and ensemble, this show demonstrates extraordinary talent and creativity in lighting, sound, choreography and music. The tension never lets up. The protagonists portray deep emotion, personal flaws and humanity. This is a tragedy in the deepest sense, brought to the audience so that it is felt deeply. An outstanding and powerful production. Kudos to all the scores of talented people who brought this to the stage!"

A rare gem that exceeded our expectations. All the hype is justified.
"Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Francis don't disappoint. The raves are deserved for both. The entire cast is on fire -- excellent. A tremendous triumph for Jamie Lloyd, bringing this modern and risk-taking revival to Broadway from the West End. We were on the edge of our seats.
Bravo!!👏👏👏"

Brilliant.
"Wonderful production….
Cast was excellent.
Do try to sit in the center orchestra if possible; intense lighting from the wings is difficult on the eyes in some parts of the performance. "

"The whole cast are amazing, the staging is minimalist, you get the sense of stepping back into a black and white movie.
The main characters portrayed the drama and pathos so well, spellbinding, surprising moments that take you beyond the theatre walls."

The best show I have seen in years
"A mind-blowing reinvention of this musical. I am not a huge ALW fan but each time I see one of his shows, I’m reminded of how good his music can actually be. This production combines a lush score with a visual palette grounded in film noir. If Billy Wilder directed an opera, it would look like this. The performers are uniformly excellent. It’s half musical, half movie, and totally engrossing theater. I’ve had my hopes dashed at many, many shows over the years — more flash than heart, more saccharine than depth. After so many so-so productions, “Sunset Blvd.” was a deeply appreciated correction and restoration. Nothing but superlatives. "

"A Lasting Impression: Sunset Boulevard as a Broadway Triumph
Leaving the theater, I was overcome with emotion. My heart felt both full and broken—full from the beauty I had witnessed, and broken by the aching tragedy of Norma’s fate.
Sunset Boulevard on Broadway is not merely a show—it is an experience. It is a dazzling, haunting, and deeply moving work of art that celebrates the allure and heartbreak of Hollywood’s golden age. It is a reminder of the fragile line between dreams and delusions, fame and obscurity, love and despair.
As I walked away from the theater, the music still echoing in my ears, I knew I had witnessed something truly extraordinary—a production that will linger in my heart forever. If you have the chance to see Sunset Boulevard on Broadway, do not hesitate. It is a masterpiece that will sweep you away, break your heart, and leave you grateful for having been a part of it.

This is how you give a classic Broadway show a new life. It is remarkable !
"I have been a broadway geek since 1958. Never have I experienced such a performance by a leading lady...and what a standing ovation !!!! Nicole S brought Norma Desmond to life in so many ways. It was all there...melancoly,humor dramatic acting, sadness and what a voice!!!! Technically this show was remarkable The use of the live video allows the audience to experience the heartbreak and the joy of each character. It was so clever and hopefully will be used more on Broadway"

Beautiful Retelling of a Classic!
"Loved the foggy staging, acting and voices! The score is outstanding as always! Loved the ending but the shooting ending with the bloody Norma was not easily perceived due to the strobing effects. Also the very beginning was a bit odd. Not sure people would understand he’s coming out of a body bag. I also didn’t like the lack of the actual dead chimp. It sets the stage for Norma’s eccentricity so if you miss the lyrical mention, you may be a bit confused. I have seen this show many times in the past as well as the movie so I knew what was happening but we were with friends who at times became confused as to what was happening. Overall I thought it was a masterpiece!"

About
Sunset Boulevard
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Boulevard focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
