Visionary director Jamie Lloyd (Cyrano de Bergerac, A Doll’s House) reinvents Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic show, which will play a limited 16 week run at London’s Savoy Theatre from 21 Sep 2023 – 6 Jan 2024. Nicole Scherzinger returns to the West End starring as the immortal Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary Sunset Boulevard.
This thrillingly atmospheric musical, featuring a mesmerising score including With One Look, The Perfect Year and As If We Never Said Goodbye, is reimagined by visionary director Jamie Lloyd for a new generation.
Rachel Tucker guest stars as Norma Desmond on all Monday performances.
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Scherzinger) yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter may be her only hope, until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disastrous circumstances.
