Sunset Boulevard UK Tour

Danny Mac (Joe), Ria Jones (Norma) and Adam Pearce (Max)

We are pleased to bring you Manuel Harlan's great first look production photos from the current tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's award-winning musical Sunset Boulevard. This new production directed by Nikolai Foster stars Ria Jones as faded silent film star Norma Desmond, Danny Mac as aspiring screenwriter Joe Gillis, Adam Pearce as Max Von Mayerling, and Molly Lynch as Betty Schaefer.

In her mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded, silent-screen goddess, Norma Desmond, lives in a fantasy world. 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 life-style.  Joe becomes entrapped in a claustrophobic world until his love for another woman leads him to try and break free with dramatic consequences.

One of the all-time great musicals, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award®-winning (Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical) masterpiece Sunset Boulevard is a compelling story of romance and obsession, based on Billy Wilder’s legendary film, with Don Black and Christopher Hampton's wonderful book and lyrics. This much-loved score includes the title number Sunset Boulevard, With One Look, As If We Never Said Goodbye, The Greatest Star Of All and The Perfect Year and will be performed by a full orchestra.
