How to get Sunset Boulevard tickets as Nicole Scherzinger stars in West End show
A reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard musical is coming to London's Savoy Theatre for a limited 16-week run this year. Here’s how you can snap up tickets.
We’re spoiled for choice with theatre shows this month, with The Duke of York’s Theatre finally opening its doors to The Pillowman on 10th June and the spooky play 2:22 A Ghost Story getting a brand new ensemble, including Sophia Bush and Jaime Winstone. Now, Nicole Scherzinger is set to star in the iconic reimagination of Sunset Boulevard.
Former Pussycat Dolls lead vocalist Scherzinger will be taking on the role of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard for a limited 16-week run in London’s West End. British director Jamie Lloyd will be behind the musical which features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton.
Speaking about the musical, Lloyd said: “After our reappraisal of Evita at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park, I'm very excited to rediscover another iconic Lloyd Webber musical — and Sunset Boulevard is one of his most thrilling, complex and atmospheric scores. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to create a new production of this fascinating piece with the extraordinary Nicole Scherzinger.”
Lloyd Webber added: “Nicole is one of the finest singers I have worked with, and I can't wait to get started on this exciting show with her and the rest of this brilliant team.”
Sunset Boulevard the musical is based on the 1950 film noir movie of the same name. The real-life street, Sunset Boulevard, has been associated with Hollywood films since 1911 when the town’s first film studio opened there, but this movie is far from the Hollywood glitz and glamour...
The story follows Desmond, a has-been silent movie star, as she meets the screenwriter Joe Gillis. Desmond sees Gillis as her opportunity to make her huge return to the big screen, but it doesn’t quite go to plan, and tragedy strikes.

Who plays Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in London?
American singer-songwriter Scherzinger will be taking on the role of Desmond in Sunset Boulevard’s West End run. She follows in the footsteps of Patti LuPone, who first starred in Lloyd Webber’s stage adaptation back in 1993, and Glenn Close, who played the protagonist when Sunset Boulevard reached Broadway the following year in 1994.
If you’re a fan of the musical, or perhaps you’ve been lucky enough to see it performed live, you’ll know it features a masterclass of songs, which include As If We Never Said Goodbye, With One Look, and The Perfect Year.
