About Sunset Boulevard Tickets
Starring:
Nicole Scherzinger
Sunset Boulevard description
With Nicole Scherzinger in the starring role, audiences are in for a very special experience. The original movie was a huge hit and it's still loved to this day. It was nominated for an impressive eleven Academy Awards and won three. Some say it's one of the finest examples of American cinema. And it's yours, playing at the Savoy Theatre from September 2023.
You're looking at a classic story so good that the film is considered one of USA's most “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant", included in the National Film Registry's 100 best American 20th Century films. The stage production is just as powerful, an unforgettable black comedy of a plot full of violence, madness and death.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's lovely music sits at the heart of the world’s best known musicals: Cats, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and The Phantom of the Opera amongst many others. He's a great British institution in the flesh, and theatregoers are dying to experience the show. But there's more. The entire English National opera orchestra provides the music. Wow.
Sunset Boulevard – The story
Norma Desmond is a reclusive ex-silent movie star. She can feel her stardom slipping away as her reputation fades along with her looks. Joe Gillis is a dodgy screenwriter on the run from debtors. When they collide, sparks fly.
Norma hires Joe to work on a screenplay she's written, something she believes will shoot her back to stardom in the talkies. Joe has different ideas – he thinks it's a fantasy. But he smells money, and he wants it. At first they get on... very well. But they're soon at loggerheads as they both refuse to let go of their desires, Joe falls in love with someone else and he and Norma clash violently in an effort to protect their ambitions.
It sounds like a hoot. And it is. But it's also as black as it gets, a thrilling combination audiences love whatever the format, film or stage. Don't miss it!

I loved some if the ideas I haven't seen before, e.g. using cameras on the stage, this supported the back seats greatly; the tour within the inner corridors of the building, which showed the audience a different view of the atmosphere behind the stage; the tour outside the building was so creative and unexpected, loved it! Just a few actors, and simple costumes, but their acting and especially, Nicole's voice and presence, made the show Big! Already recommended.

I suppose I am biased having seen the original production which had fabulous sets. Whilst I know they were going for the minimalist set I don't think it worked for this show. Sometimes it does, I think Les Mis is worse for having more scenery. I also think there was too much corny slap stick which got laughs from the younger crowd but I prefer the gravity of the original showing in the 90s. The orchestra was amazing and I was spellbound by the quality of Nicole Scherzinger's voice. However, I felt Tom Frances who played Joe needs to be directed to look towards the royal and grand circles when he is singing and not just to the stalls. It was a good performance but I think it was a little too arthouse for me.

Brilliant acting, dancing and singing. Nicole Scherzinger has an exceptional voice and great presence on stage. But the lack of ANY set, scenery or costume is very detrimental to the production. So much is lost in this production compared to when I first saw the show in the West End (with Petula Clark). I was really looking forward to seeing it again. But what a loss. What a shame!

Didn't think Ms Scherzinger would have the voice for musical theatre given her pop background - but Wow! Amazing vocals, hit all the right notes, and could she sustain them. First half was excellent, second half a bit of a mess and hard to follow. Wasn't keen on the lack of scenery/costumes and the constant playing of pre-recorded video clips. Felt cheap. But wow to Ms Scherzinger - she made the show. Also thought it a little tacky for the leading man to do the curtain call in his underwear and still covered in blood. He could have wiped it off and thrown on a shirt or robe.

This is the second time I saw Sunset Boulevard. The first one was 22 years ago in Broadway and this time in London. I can't describe my emotions for seeing Glenn Close again performing at the highest possible level as she did 22 years ago. The story is amazing, the music is fantastic, the lyrics are just so right, and the whole thing is just perfect. This time I went with my husband which is not a particularly musical fan and I told him that if he didn't like this one he would never like musicals. To summarise, he said to me the day after the performance that he woke up in the morning thinking about Glenn Close's fantastic performance and thanking me for having taken him as he literally loved Sunset Boulevard, and he posted it in Facebook!!! Anyway, I am not sure if I will have another chance to see it again somewhere in the world but I am so happy life gave me this chance!!!

Book well in advance. Try to find out what is the facial price. For 2 tickets of £210,00 we payed £285,00. Too much IMHO. The show is excellent, excellent performances and the voice of Fred Johanson is nothing less than extraordinary. A show for itself.

Less about the show and more about the experience. Will forever be disillusioned and disgusted with London theatre following the no refund or exchange decision on the Glenn Close no show debacle. Considering the advertising campaign relying on her name and the consequent hiking of prices, sales of these tickets were reliant on people wanting to see this Hollywood actress in this role and being left high and dry. What a lack of Integrity to take people's money whilst someone clearly lines their own pockets. I felt thoroughly conned. Would I have paid £200 to see just anybody....No.

This was an awesome show - I could not be believe how lucky I was to get seats searching for either a Friday or Saturday and getting opening night made this extra special. All of the cast can be commended on the their vocal performances & the ENO were just amazing making this a special performance at the Coliseum. Siobhan/Betty & Michael/ Joe were wonderful supporting actors and Fred/Max beautiful operatic voice had me in tears - however you simply cannot top Glenn Close she was born for this role - everyone deserved the standing ovation including the orchestra. I have waited so long to see this performance and to be able to see Glenn deliver an outstanding performance of a life time making me and most of the audience cry will never be forgotten - nor easily topped by anything quite as stunning visually and vocally. If I could go to see every performance I would ...but then I would take some one else's well deserved seat to miss this show. Thank you for a truly unforgettable evening.
