Andrew Lloyd Webber said, “This recording was made live at the Savoy Theatre in London, with no enhancements, exactly as it was heard in the theatre. It perfectly captures one of the finest and most exciting reinventions of Sunset Boulevard ever produced. The production of this album makes it a true musical radio play, harking back to where it all began for me with the very first Jesus Christ Superstar album.”
Jamie Lloyd said, “I was extremely humbled by the amazing enthusiasm of our West End audiences and am thrilled we get to bring this production to Broadway. When we recorded the album live on the stage of the Savoy in London, I was once again overwhelmed by the depth and power of Nicole Scherzinger’s performance — these iconic songs have never been sung like this before. Having the exceptional Tom Francis, Grace Hodgett Young, and David Thaxton join Nicole at the St. James Theatre is an unforgettable experience.”
