SUNSET BLVD. Wins Tony Awards For Best Revival of a Musical
She’s come home at last to win a Tony! Sunset Blvd. has won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Reivial of a musical. It beats out fellow nominees Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzance Musical, and Floyd Collins. Starring Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Francis, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musical has been wowing audiences here in New York since opening last fall.
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 Blvd. focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
Directed by Jamie Lloyd, the performance received seven Tony nominations including one for Scherzinger and Francis. The revival first played London’s Savoy Theatre before crossing the pond, and has just announced one additional extension where it will play at the St. James Theatre until July 20, 2025.
