The cast and acting was amazing. Nicole and her co-star stole the show. However, the overall storyline and lack of props/costumes (usually the wow factors) made the overall experience boring. You pay to see Nicole. The venue itself was very warm, everyone around us found it hard to breathe from the smoke

A far too great dependency on amplifiers for both orchestra as well as the actors. As a result the actors did not feel the need to project their voices and the spoken words were difficult to understand for non English speakers. When the lead character sang at her full volume the sound was overpowering. She would have been impressive without amplifiers, but as it was the decibel level was too much. We left at the interval.

Nicole Scherzinger is extraordinary as Norma Desmond. Intense, compelling, mesmerising performance!! Wonderful voice and acting. I loved the contemporary approach to the production. Tom Francis so good too and great cast !!

Despite the star, Nicole Scherzinger not being on stage which was the reason I paid £149.50 for an excellent stall seat, which was very disappointing but still the alternative lead, Ms Rachel Tucker have a. rousing performance. The music of ALW as always pitch perfect, Tom Francis gave a sterling performance as did the captivating Grace Hodgett Young. The performance of a young Norma by Hannah Yun ChemberlIn was graceful and decadent, a true rising star.

A really great show. Only two issues. Had issues finding the entrance because google maps sends you round the back! Seats in the theatre are not comfortable. All the staff are fantastic, drinks expensive but suppose it’s London but £11 for a standard glass of wine from a bottle that costs £9 in a supermarket is a bit steep. The show was amazing and would recommend it to everyone.

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!!!

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.
