Enjoy two tickets to one of this season's big hits, Sunset Boulevard, and an opportunity to meet lead actor Michael Xavier backstage afterwards!

About the show:

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Sunset Boulevard, returns to Broadway!  Based on the classic Academy Award-winning Billy Wilder film, this new production comes to New York direct from a bravura sold-out engagement earlier this year at the English National Opera.  In addition to a knockout cast, this production also features a 40-piece orchestra, the largest on Broadway.

SYNOPSIS: In her mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded, silent-screen goddess, Norma Desmond (Glenn Close), lives in a fantasy world. Impoverished screen writer, Joe Gillis (Michael Xavier), on the run from debt collectors, stumbles into her reclusive world. Persuaded to work on Norma’s ‘masterpiece’, a film script that she believes will put her back in front of the cameras, he is seduced by her and her luxurious life-style. Joe becomes entrapped in a claustrophobic world until his love for another woman leads him to try and break free with dramatic consequences.
