I would highly recommend this play!
"We brought a 16 yo, so I would say not appropriate for younger than that. It was fantastic. Revivals should all be updated with this style and care. The cast was spot on and the leads deserve all the accolades they are getting. "

Modern take on a classic hit
"My daughter and I saw the original musical in London over 25 years ago and loved it! We were happy to see it in NYC and were pleasantly surprised with the modern take of one of our favorite musicals. The soundtrack remained the same and was just as powerful then. Nicole Scherzinger and a few other main characters did not play their parts in the show we saw but it didn’t matter - all of the actors were absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone !! (And maybe kids 15+) "

Powerful performances
"Emotionally thrilling performances by all in this new production of Sunset Boulevard. This is the fourth production I have seen over many years. It was brilliant, clever and fresh, however the sound system needs work. Lyrics and dialogue were lost. "Whispered Conversations" are beautiful when they can be heard. "

WOW! Just amazing!
"Amazing. I've always been a fan of Nicole, but seeing her in this role was eye-opening. I knew she could sing pop, BUT this girl can sing anything. Her vocal range was surprising. What was really awesome was to see her ACT! She embodied the role and made you think you were looking through a window into Norma Desmond's private hell. The actors who played Joe Gillis and the guy who was Norma's bodyguard were also wonderful actors. Definitely worth seeing and highly recommended. "

Amazing show!
"The cast was all great. Their sining and dance talents added so much to this show. Nicole Scherzinger was amazing-can't say enough about her powerful voice.Tom Francis also has amazing voice and acting skills. I was also blown away with the voice of David Thaxton who played Max. The black and white staging and using camera shots for closeups was unique adding so much to the production."

Finest theatre I’ve seen in years.
"One of the best shows I’ve ever seen and I’ve been going to theatre more than 50 years. Nicole Scherzinger is mesmerising, captivating, haunting and beautiful with the most magnificent voice since Barbara Streisand and Whitney Houston. She must be chosen for many more BWay shows and Hollywood!!!"

Mesmerizing...
"The singing and performances by all were phenomenal. Nicole Scherzinger went above and beyond and commanded the stage. I was anticipating a normal set (with rooms and furniture, etc.), and after a few minutes, I realized this would be different, with a modern take. I ended up loving the up-close camera work, providing a more intimate edge, especially as we were sitting in the mezzanine. This show had me thinking about it after throughout the day, in a haunting and profound way. I hope it receives further recognition, as it truly deserves it. As a final note, one has to love the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. There were a few times, when the notes were reminiscent of the music in Phantom of the Opera. I was fine with that, as I am a huge fan. I highly recommend seeing this show and am so grateful that I had the opportunity."

Fabulous!
"Amazingly performed by Nicole Scherzinger and understudy, Pierre Marais on Wednesday, June 4. Before you go, read a little history about the prior renditions; it makes it more meaningful. After the intermission, the transition back to the story is so exciting. So glad I could witness such a fantastic performance. "

Amazing main cast!
"Nicole Scherzinger, Tom Francis and David Thaxton have superb voices. If you go for that alone, you will not regret it. Personally, I preferred the drama of the second act. The big screen closeups were very effective and the orchestra is amazing too. Many lower priced seats are still available and Nicole is a lock for the Tony. Don't miss this one!!"

“I am big, it’s the pictures that got small.”
"True confession, I was apprehensive about seeing this version of Sunset, having been mesmerized by the elaborate sets and costumes of Glenn Close’s Broadway version. However, this iteration was spellbinding. EXCEPTIONAL performances from Nicole, Tom and David were all Tony award winning in my book. OMG - The voices, the music, superb! The use of new technology and old school camera filming was stunning. Go see it before this cast leaves. Multiple standing O’s!!"

Must see
"Initially, I was sad to learn Nicole Scherzinger would not be performing. Honestly, the show was top-notch from start to end. I enjoyed every minute, including seeing so much talent in one show. I loved the close-range facial camera shots while on stage, backstage, and the street views. I would love to see Sunset Blvd. again, with Nicole Scherzinger. "

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.
