📖 ABOUT THIS BOOK This is the official Piano/Vocal Highlights folio from Sunset Boulevard, the epic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton — based on Billy Wilder's legendary 1950 film noir classic. Published by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation for The Really Useful Group Ltd. (Lloyd Webber's own production company), this is an authorized, high-quality edition.
Sunset Boulevard opened in London's West End in 1993 and on Broadway in 1994, winning 7 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Actress (Glenn Close). The role of Norma Desmond has been performed by some of the greatest voices in musical theater history, including Glenn Close, Patti LuPone, Betty Buckley, Elaine Paige, and — in the acclaimed 2024 Broadway revival — Nicole Scherzinger, who won the Tony Award for Best Actress. Interest in this show is at a peak.
