A scene from "Sunset Boulevard."

Webber’s beloved musical epic, based on Billy Wilder's 1950 film noir classic of the same name, premiered in London’s West End in July 1993. The American production opened in Los Angeles in December of that year and was later reworked for Broadway, where it debuted in November 1994.

Set in Hollywood in 1949, the story follows forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond, who longs to return to the silver screen. Holed up in her decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, Desmond lures handsome, struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis into her orbit, hoping he will pen a screenplay for her grand comeback. However, as their relationship turns intimate and Desmond’s delusions deepen, their story spirals toward a tragic and violent end.

The new production will let the audience relive the golden era of Hollywood.

The iconic role of Desmond will be brought to life by none other than a true diva of our time. Brightman, a best-selling classical crossover artist, is perhaps best known for originating the role of Christine in Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera in both London’s West End and on Broadway. This production marks her return to musical theater after nearly 30 years.

With her soul-stirring voice, Brightman will portray Desmond’s obsession and downfall, tearing through the façade of Hollywood’s gilded age amidst the cracks wrought by changing times and tides, delivering a performance of inevitable tragedy and grandeur.

Sarah Brightman will act as Norma Desmond.

The current production is directed by Paul Warwick Griffin, a veteran of London’s West End, and features stage design by Morgan Large.

Audiences will be treated to iconic songs such as “With One Look,” “As If We Never Said Goodbye,” and “The Perfect Year.” These timeless classics, which perfectly complement the storyline and evoke deep emotional connections, have cemented their place in the annals of musical theater.

Shenzhen will be the final stop of the production’s China tour, following performances in Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuhan. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness a masterpiece of musical theater and relive the golden era of Hollywood.
