Sunset Boulevard rises again with a new version of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and Christopher Hampton's sweeping musical, adapted from Billy Wilder's classic 1950 film. Playing the delusional silent-screen star Norma Desmond this time around is Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger, who earned ecstatic reviews in this revival's original London production. In a striking departure from the lavish design of the original production, director Jamie Lloyd employs a minimalist style (akin to his approach to A Doll's House last year) that makes plentiful use of live video. The Broadway transfer will maintain Scherzinger's London costars: Tom Francis as her young lover Joe, Grace Hodgett-Young as his colleague and David Thaxton as Norma's loyal majordomo.
