Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic Sunset Boulevard follows washed-up former silent film star Norma Desmond — played by Nicole Scherzinger — as she is haunted by her memories and dreams of life on the silver screen. She meets a struggling screenwriter who sees Norma as his only hope of making it in Hollywood, but their dangerous relationship leads them down a dangerous path. The show gives their ambitions, frustrations, and intoxicating need for fame a close-up.
