Presented by Base Entertainment Asia, the highly anticipated revival promises to captivate audiences with its stunning visuals, unforgettable score, and a legendary performance by Brightman in the iconic role of Norma Desmond at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands this February.

Sunset Boulevard is a heart-wrenching and glamorous musical that delves into the dark side of Hollywood’s Golden Age. At its center is the tormented, tragic figure of Norma Desmond (Brightman), a former silent film star desperately clinging to the hope of a comeback. Discarded by the film industry with the rise of “talkies,” Norma lives in a fantasy world where she is still adored by fans, haunted by her past, and consumed by the need to return to the silver screen. When she meets struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis, their fateful encounter sparks a passionate and dangerous relationship that ultimately spirals into a chilling and tragic conclusion.

Ranking among musical theatre’s most complex and demanding roles, Norma Desmond often requires a true star to bring to life, and Sarah Brightman fits the bill. As a world-renowned soprano and performer no stranger to theatrical triumphs, Brightman is also best known for originating the role of Christine in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera that shot her to international fame. Spending the last three decades as the world’s best-selling soprano and captivating audiences with her haunting voice and theatrical presence, Sunset Boulevard marks her long-awaited return to the stage in a role that promises to be nothing short of legendary.

Set against a backdrop of the glamour and excess of 1950s Hollywood, this breathtaking new production of Sunset Boulevard brings the lavish world of Norma Desmond to life with dazzling sets, opulent costumes, and atmospheric lighting that transport audiences to the height of cinematic history. The musical’s richly textured score, which includes unforgettable songs like “With One Look”, “The Perfect Year”, and the anthemic “As If We Never Said Goodbye”, provides an emotional powerhouse that will leave audiences spellbound. As one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most ambitious and poignant works, Sunset Boulevard holds a special place within the composer’s canon, with a stunning soundtrack and emotional narrative that continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
