Sunset Boulevard

With the stunning Nicole Scherzinger in the lead role, this album promises to be an unforgettable celebration of one of Broadway’s most beloved stories.

Following a multi-Olivier Award-winning run in London, the dazzling new production of Sunset Boulevard, directed by two-time Tony Award® nominee and multiple Olivier Award® winner Jamie Lloyd, is making its way to Broadway. This thrilling reinterpretation has already captivated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and is now poised to conquer New York’s iconic St. James Theatre.

Leading the cast is the incomparable Nicole Scherzinger, an Olivier Award winner and GRAMMY Award® nominee, who delivers a powerful performance as Norma Desmond. Her portrayal has been hailed as one of the finest in recent years, bringing a fresh intensity to the role of the faded silent movie star longing for a return to the silver screen.

To commemorate the Broadway premiere, a new cast recording, Sunset Blvd: The Album, will be released on The Other Songs label. The album, which was recorded live on stage at London’s Savoy Theatre, features the haunting melodies and unforgettable lyrics that have made Sunset Boulevard a timeless classic. Pre-orders for both physical and digital editions are now available here.

The iconic title track “Sunset Boulevard” has dropped today on all digital platforms, performed by Olivier Award winner Tom Francis, who played Joe Gillis in both London and now on Broadway. Andrew Lloyd Webber praised Francis’ rendition, describing it as a “mesmerising, dramatic performance” that captures the complexity of Joe Gillis like never before.

In addition to the album, Jamie Lloyd has also directed a stunning new music video for “Sunset Boulevard”. Filmed on the stage of the Savoy Theatre, the video beautifully complements the evocative music and showcases the depth and power of this new production.
