Absolutely Amazing!
"My Broadway loving daughter’s birthday wish was to see SUNSET BLVD before it ended, I was hesitant at first BUT I LOVED every bit of it! Nicole Scherzinger was absolutely amazing! My daughter was in awe of her the whole time! Grace Hodgett Young was also AMAZING! (her kindness radiated off of her during the stage door signing)! I can’t say enough about this show except I’m sad I only got to see it once!!"

The best of both worlds
"This production is AMAZING. It balances the best of a more traditional musical theatre style, with new and modern elements, perspectives and production. I went knowing many things that were used, but I never expected THAT. It blew my mind."

Spectacular Evening at the St. James Theatre
"Sunset Boulevard was the most creative show I've seen on Broadway in a long time. The acting and singing by Mandy Gonzalez and Tom Francis was breathtaking. This reimagined story was so fresh. Cameras trained on the actors and having their images on the Big Screen was so exciting. Having the actors leave the building singing in the rain that night was uniquely fabulous. All in all, I loved it and wish I could see it again with the same cast."

Worthy Of A Close Up!
"This show deserves all the accolades, nominations and Tony Awards received. True to the 1950 movie, this show is a cautionary tale; it encompassed the insanity, manipulation and volatility of the characters. The songs were dynamic, capturing the essence of the theme throughout the show. A must see!!!"

Spectacular performance
"First and foremost the four lead actors were amazing. Add to that the ensemble was great very much liked how they were utilized in dance and song. Bringing this all together was the use of technology, video, effects, lighting and staging. The opening of the second act was unexpected and beyond fantastic "

A Classic reimagined
"It’s great to have the opportunity to see an iconic Broadway musical from Andrew Lloyd Weber stripped away from costumes and stage design to land so hard on the acting of all the performers, who take on this challenge head on. Just amazing and a must! "

Sunset Blvd. Life changing experience
"I’ve seen this performance twice you simply can’t miss it! The story is brilliant and beautifully written, and the music is pure magic. Nicole Scherzinger is what makes this musical truly special. She makes eye contact as she sings, and it's incredibly powerful she genuinely inspires me. One of my favorite parts was the lighting design absolutely perfect. When the red lighting came on, I completely lost my mind. Huge thanks to the cast, crew, and director for creating this masterpiece. I highly recommend sitting toward the front there are so many intricate details that deserve to be seen up close. I flew five hours just to see it again and I’d do it all over in a heartbeat. This show is worth every mile, every minute, and every emotion it stirs."

Amazing not what i expected
"So different director was inventive. Very basic set and costumes but the acting and music was high high end. I saw the broadway show in the 80s and it was fantastic but so different than this one. I have seen a lot of live theatre this is in the top. I was pleasantly surprised with Nicole’s talents she was fantastic the drama was perfect. Needed to be super dramatic without going overboard "
