Jamie Lloyd’s extraordinary reimagination of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic Sunset Blvd. which is based on the classic Paramount Pictures film directed by Billy Wilder, has become the must-see hit of the Broadway season. When it opened in October, Scherzinger’s performance was hailed by critics as “stunning and volcanic” (USA Today) and has been heralded as “a bona fide musical theater phenomenon making the most dazzling Broadway debut in memory” (Wall Street Journal). Lloyd’s production was called “a solar flare that dazzles” (New York Magazine) and “a brilliant, red-hot revival of Lloyd Webber’s best score” (Chicago Tribune).
