Sunset Boulevard at Hull New Theatre
Award-winning West End hit arrives in 2018
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award winning masterpiece Sunset Boulevard, starring Ria Jones, will be performed at Hull New Theatre next year.
Based on Billy Wilder’s legendary film, with Don Black and Christopher Hampton’s book and lyrics, Sunset Boulevard arrives at Hull New Theatre for one week only from Monday, April 30 2018.
One of the all-time great musicals, Sunset Boulevard is a compelling story of romance and obsession.
In her mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded silent-screen goddess Norma Desmond lives in a fantasy.
Impoverished screen writer Joe Gillis, on the run from debt collectors, stumbles into her reclusive world.
Persuaded to work on Norma’s ‘masterpiece’, a film script that she believes will put her back in front of the cameras, he is seduced by her and her luxurious lifestyle.
Joe becomes entrapped in a claustrophobic world until his love for another woman leads him to try and break free, with dramatic consequences.
Ria received standing ovations every night in the role of Norma Desmond at the London Coliseum.
With its much-loved score, including Sunset Boulevard, With One Look, The Greatest Star Of All and The Perfect Year, performed with full orchestra, this production promises to be a spectacular one.
