Based on the classic Billy Wilder film, SUNSET BOULEVARD weaves a cynical yet romantic tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition, all set to a haunting score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Having been discarded by Tinseltown with the advent of the “talkies,” silent film star Norma Desmond is living in the past in her decaying mansion on the fabled Los Angeles street.Though her glamour and her fame have faded in all but her mind, she still longs for a return to the silver screen. When struggling, young screenwriter Joe Gillis accidentally crosses her path, she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback. Their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.
This production is being produced by Deb Schubert and directed by Skip Fenker, with musical direction by Kendra Struthers and choreography by Brian Anderson.
Rehearsals for this production will begin in late February, 2014 with performances beginning May 10 and running through May 18, 2013 at the Jarson-Kaplan Theater, Aronoff Center
