"I have seen 30+ Broadway shows and not one of them have I ever walked out thinking, “That is the best directing I have ever seen.” The cast, the staging, the lighting- EVERYTHING- was absolute perfection. If I could see any show once in my lifetime, it would be this one. It is innovative but still feels like a quintessential Broadway show. I understand the awards, now make me understand why it has to close."

Amazing vocalists!
"Amazing vocals & acting by the lead, Nicole Scherzinger!
Easy to see why she won the Tony for best performer! She truly captured the disturbed character of. Norma Desmond.
The male lead was also very strong by Tom Francis.
Great, dramatic show.
Very clear that Andrew Lloyd Webber was the genius behind the music!

Ready for the Close-up
"The story line in Sunset Boulevard is dark but it draws you in. The staging is simple but SO well done and appropriate to the story. In the end you need time to take it all in and digest it because it is staged and performed so powerfully. The cast is extremely talented and Nicole Scherzinger is outstanding. It's worth going to see her two standout songs, delivered with power and emotion. In the end you ARE ready for her close-up."

It was so great, I saw it twice!
"I loved how Sunset Blvd was reimagined. I am a fan of the movie, I loved Glenn Close as Norma, however I was completely blown away by this interpretation of Sunset Blvd. Nicole deserved her Tony Award win. I was captivated by the use of the camera and how the artists used it to tell the story, especially Tom Francis. Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 "

Nothing short of amazing
"What I liked: the music, the performances, the lighting, and the integration of visual medias.
What I didn't like: nothing about the show, more the crowd.
Should you go: YES! Nicole is perfect in this role."

I would highly recommend this play!
"We brought a 16 yo, so I would say not appropriate for younger than that. It was fantastic. Revivals should all be updated with this style and care. The cast was spot on and the leads deserve all the accolades they are getting. "

Modern take on a classic hit
"My daughter and I saw the original musical in London over 25 years ago and loved it! We were happy to see it in NYC and were pleasantly surprised with the modern take of one of our favorite musicals. The soundtrack remained the same and was just as powerful then. Nicole Scherzinger and a few other main characters did not play their parts in the show we saw but it didn’t matter - all of the actors were absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone !! (And maybe kids 15+) "

Powerful performances
"Emotionally thrilling performances by all in this new production of Sunset Boulevard.
This is the fourth production I have seen over many years. It was brilliant, clever and fresh, however the sound system needs work. Lyrics and dialogue were lost. "Whispered Conversations" are beautiful when they can be heard. "

WOW! Just amazing!
"Amazing. I've always been a fan of Nicole, but seeing her in this role was eye-opening. I knew she could sing pop, BUT this girl can sing anything. Her vocal range was surprising. What was really awesome was to see her ACT! She embodied the role and made you think you were looking through a window into Norma Desmond's private hell.
The actors who played Joe Gillis and the guy who was Norma's bodyguard were also wonderful actors.
Definitely worth seeing and highly recommended.

Amazing show!
"The cast was all great. Their sining and dance talents added so much to this show. Nicole Scherzinger was amazing-can't say enough about her powerful voice.Tom Francis also has amazing voice and acting skills. I was also blown away with the voice of David Thaxton who played Max. The black and white staging and using camera shots for closeups was unique adding so much to the production."

Finest theatre I’ve seen in years.
"One of the best shows I’ve ever seen and I’ve been going to theatre more than 50 years. Nicole Scherzinger is mesmerising, captivating, haunting and beautiful with the most magnificent voice since Barbara Streisand and Whitney Houston.
She must be chosen for many more BWay shows and Hollywood!!!"

Mesmerizing...
"The singing and performances by all were phenomenal. Nicole Scherzinger went above and beyond and commanded the stage. I was anticipating a normal set (with rooms and furniture, etc.), and after a few minutes, I realized this would be different, with a modern take. I ended up loving the up-close camera work, providing a more intimate edge, especially as we were sitting in the mezzanine. This show had me thinking about it after throughout the day, in a haunting and profound way. I hope it receives further recognition, as it truly deserves it. As a final note, one has to love the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. There were a few times, when the notes were reminiscent of the music in Phantom of the Opera. I was fine with that, as I am a huge fan. I highly recommend seeing this show and am so grateful that I had the opportunity."

About
Sunset Boulevard
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Boulevard focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
