“HISTORY-MAKING PERFORMANCE” *
AS ‘NORMA DESMOND’
DIRECTOR JAMIE LLOYD’S “ELECTRIFYING REVIVAL” **
TO END EXTENDED BROADWAY ENGAGEMENT ON SUNDAY, JULY 13
New York, NY (March 24, 2025) – Today, producers of the hit new Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Blvd., directed by two-time Tony Award® nominee and multiple Olivier Award® winner Jamie Lloyd, announced that due to overwhelming demand there are six additional opportunities to see Olivier Award® winner and Grammy Award® nominee Nicole Scherzinger as ‘Norma Desmond’ at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44th Street).
Scherzinger, whose performance has been called “career defining” (New York Times), “seismic” (Los Angeles Times), “dazzling” (Wall Street Journal), “volcanic” (USA Today), and “rapturous” (Washington Post) will now perform the following evenings in addition to her regular schedule: Tuesday, April 8; Tuesday, April 29; Tuesday, May 6; Tuesday, May 13; Tuesday, May 27; and Tuesday, June 10. Additionally, as previously announced, Scherzinger has extended her run in Sunset Blvd. on Broadway through Sunday, July 13 when the production will end its limited engagement at the St. James.
Scherzinger said, “Being able to play Norma for the past 18 months, first on the West End and now on Broadway, has been the gift of a lifetime. Andrew and Jamie have given me an unexpected dream role for which I will be forever grateful. Being able to add these six additional performances before I put my version of this character to rest alongside the most talented cast and crew is a way for me to celebrate a truly remarkable piece of theater.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber said, “Nicole Scherzinger gives a performance for the ages and we are thrilled there are now more chances to see it.”
Scherzinger is joined by 2024 Olivier Award winner Tom Francis as ‘Joe Gillis,’ 2024 Olivier Award nominee Grace Hodgett Young as ‘Betty Schaefer,’ and Olivier Award winner and 2024 Olivier nominee David Thaxton as ‘Max Von Mayerling.’

Lloyd’s extraordinary reimagination of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical, which is based on the classic Paramount Pictures film directed by Billy Wilder, has become the must-see hit of the Broadway season. When it opened in October, this production was called “a solar flare that dazzles” (New York Magazine) and “a brilliant, red-hot revival of Lloyd Webber’s best score” (Chicago Tribune).
Sunset Blvd. has been highlighted in many “Best of the Year” lists, including the New York Times, amNY, Chicago Tribune, Deadline, EW, Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, New York Daily News, Playbill, Theatermania, Town & Country, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal.
The Jamie Lloyd Company’s new production of Sunset Blvd. originated in London’s West End in the fall of 2023 and immediately grabbed the attention of theatergoers worldwide. The show went on to win a record eight Olivier Awards including Best Revival, Best Director for Lloyd, Best Actress for Scherzinger, and Best Actor for Francis.
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Nicole Scherzinger) yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter (Tom Francis) who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Blvd. focuses the lens of ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
The creative team for Sunset Blvd. includes Soutra Gilmour (set and costume design), Fabian Aloise (choreography), Alan Williams (music supervisor and music director), Jack Knowles (lighting design), Adam Fisher (sound design), Nathan Amzi and Joe Ransom (video design and cinematography), Cheryl Thomas (hair and makeup design), Ann James (intimacy coordinator), Jim Carnahan CSA and Jason Thinger CSA (U.S. casting director), and Stuart Burt CDG (U.K. casting director).
Sunset Blvd. is produced by The Jamie Lloyd Company, ATG Productions, Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals, and Gavin Kalin Productions by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd and based on the Paramount Pictures film directed by Billy Wilder.
SUNSET BLVD: THE ALBUM recorded live at the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End, is available via The Other Songs. Featuring the London cast, SUNSET BLVD: THE ALBUM captures the thrilling energy of this bold, new production.
