Nicole Scherzinger will bring her award-winning performance as Norma Desmond to Broadway this year in director Jamie Lloyd’s new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, following the show’s closure in the West End on 6 January.
Joining Scherzinger on Broadway will be her acclaimed London co-stars: Tom Francis as Joe Gillis, Grace Hodgett-Young as Betty Schaefer, and Olivier Award® winner David Thaxton as Max Von Mayerling.
Production dates, venue, and additional casting for Sunset Boulevard on Broadway will be announced shortly.
Lloyd Webber’s thrillingly atmospheric Sunset Boulevard features an iconic score including the songs ‘With One Look’, ‘The Perfect Year’, and ‘As If We Never Said Goodbye’.
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Scherzinger) yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter (Francis) who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disastrous circumstances. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Boulevard scrutinises the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and their intoxicating need for fame and adoration.
The creative team includes set and costume designer Soutra Gilmour, choreographer Fabian Aloise, music supervisor and music director Alan Williams, lighting designer Jack Knowles, sound designer Adam Fisher, video designers and cinematographers Nathan Amzi and Joe Ransom, US casting directors Jim Carnahan CSA and Jason Thinger CSA, and UK casting director Stuart Burt CDG.
