Sunset Boulevard, the Tony-winning Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, hits Sydney! Faded silent film star Norma Desmond becomes fixated on a young writer. Will her Hollywood dreams turn tragic?

Why watch Sunset Boulevard

The brainchild of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sunset Boulevard is all set for Sydney. Tickets for this show are selling out quickly, to no surprise! The show has won a record 7 Tony Awards, including the top prize for Best Musical. This production marks the return of Sarah Brightman, who was the very first Christine in Phantom of the Opera. In her first time back on stage in 30 years, she's playing the mysterious Norma Desmond. Tim Draxl plays Joe Gillis and Paul Warwick Griffin directs.

The story

Faded silent film star Norma Desmond, living in a faded Hollywood mansion, clings to the ghosts of her glamorous past. When struggling writer Joe Gillis enters her world, Norma sees him as her ticket back to the top. Blinded by the luxury she offers, Joe gets sucked into her delusional world. As he writes her fantasy script, the lines blur between Norma's faded reality and her desperate dream of a comeback. Will Joe be the key to her return, or will Norma's obsession destroy them? Book your Sunset Boulevard Sydney tickets and find out.

Getting tickets online was easy and I appreciate the discounted price. I hadn't researched who was singing the lead role, Norma, but was delighted to find it was Sarah Brightman. The sets and choreography were exceptional, we were spellbound from beginning to end.

A stunning Sydney spring day added to the enjoyment. Showing a bisitor around our beautiful Opera House and harbour was the highlight.

It was a blow away performance with lots of twists! Lovely seating with great leg room - very comfortable. I would highly recommend seeing this show or atleast visiting the Sydney opera house!!

I found I couldn't print out the tickets. I was worried I would become ill and not be able to attend so I wanted to print out the tickets so I could give my friend her copy if I couldn't go.
