3. Sunset Boulevard
Fans of musicals, you can catch Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning musical "Sunset Boulevard" at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. Starring as Norma Desmond is the legendary Sarah Brightman (who originated the role of Christine Daaé in Lloyd Weber's "Phantom of the Opera"). This marks her first musical theatre performance in Singapore.
Adapted from Billy Wilder’s classic Paramount film, "Sunset Boulevard" tells the haunting story of Norma Desmond, a former silent film star yearning for a Hollywood comeback. When she crosses paths with struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis, their intense and turbulent relationship spirals toward an unexpected and tragic end.
The musical premiered at London’s Adelphi Theatre in 1993 before making its American debut in Los Angeles, starring Glenn Close. It later opened on Broadway in 1994, setting a record for the highest advance ticket sales at the time. "Sunset Boulevard" went on to win six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book.
