Get ready for your close-up! The Ogunquit Playhouse is the first fully staged Regional theatre in the nation to produce an all new production of Sunset Boulevard starring Stefanie Powers as Norma Desmond, July 28 through August 14, complete with the Tony Nominated costumes by the Academy Award winning designer, Anthony Powell and an all new set designed exclusively for the Ogunquit stage by Todd Ivins. This musical is based on the film noir classic by Billy Wilder that starred Gloria Swanson and William Holden. It is the winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical and features some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's loveliest melodies including, "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."

Todd Gearhart joins the cast as Joe Gillis, the ill-fated screen writer entangled in Norma Desmond's dark world Max will be played by Broadway veteran Sal Mistretta who returns to Ogunquit Playhouse after appearing in last season's Guys and Dolls. The part of Betty Schaefer will be played by Christina DeCicco. She was last seen as Cindy Lou in the final Off-Broadway cast of The Marvelous Wonderettes and as Glinda in the National Tour of Wicked.
