Sunset Boulevard Tickets for Theatre Shows in 2024/2025

Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of “talkies.” Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets struggling Hollywood screenwriter Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.

Based on the Billy Wilder film, the musical version of Sunset Boulevard—with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Christopher Hampton and Don Black—had its world premiere at London’s Adelphi Theatre on July 12th, 1993. The show opened on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre in November 1994, with the highest advance in Broadway history at the time, making its return in 2017 at the Palace Theatre with Glenn Close reprising her role as Norma Desmond, following a sold out run in the West End at the London Coliseum.

Sunset Boulevard will open at London's Savoy Theatre for a limited run in September 2023, starring Nicole Scherzinger. Catch the show live by checking dates and ticket information via Stereoboard.
