In a historic achievement, the album joins an elite group, as it is only one of three other musical theatre soundtracks to reach this pinnacle in the past decade.

ABOUT SUNSET BLVD.
Nicole Scherzinger stars as the immortal Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated SUNSET BLVD., reimagined by visionary director Jamie Lloyd, with book and lyrics by Don Hampton and Christopher Hampton.
Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, SUNSET BLVD. focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
SUNSET BLVD. on Broadway 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.
See SUNSET BLVD. at the St. James Theatre in New York City. For more information and tickets visit https://sunsetblvdbroadway.com/.
