New York, NY (October 25, 2024) – Following the triumphant Broadway opening of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary SUNSET BLVD. at the St. James Theatre, the highly-anticipated SUNSET BLVD: The Album, is released today on The Other Songs label. Listen HERE.

This recording of the multi-award winning SUNSET BLVD., masterfully reimagined by two-time Tony Award® and multiple Olivier Award® winning director Jamie Lloyd, was captured live on the stage at London’s Savoy Theatre. Featuring Olivier Award winner and GRAMMY Award® nominee Nicole Scherzinger, Olivier Award winner Tom Francis, Olivier Award nominee Grace Hodgett Young, and Olivier Award winner David Thaxton, SUNSET BLVD’s debut in London, won seven Olivier Awards, including Best Musical Revival, Nicole Scherzinger for Best Actress in a Musical and Tom Francis for Best Actor in a Musical.

To commemorate the official album release, a new clip of “With One Look,” featuring Nicole Scherzinger and directed by Jamie Lloyd dropped today. Watch it HERE.

SUNSET BLVD: The Album serves as the ultimate experience from the show, while simultaneously being a deeply rich and satisfying listening experience in its own right.  This masterful reinterpretation is poised to win over a new legion of converts while thrilling the most loyal of devotees of this beloved show.

To celebrate the album release, a special immersive event is being held today at Dolby 88 in New York City, where members of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Box Five Club and invited guests can experience the grandeur of the incredible sounding recording heard in its entirety as a spatial listening experience.

The album is being released as a Triple LP vinyl, featuring beautiful imagery from the London show and a note from Andrew Lloyd Webber included. The album products are available to purchase at https://www.sunsetblvdalbum.com/ as well as limited edition, in-theater exclusives available for purchase at the St. James Theatre on Broadway.

Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and Christopher Hampton, the album was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jamie Lloyd, Lee McCutcheon, Adam Fisher and Alan Williams mixed in Dolby Atmos, spatial audio.

“Sunset Boulevard” the title song, performed by Tom Francis, was the first track to be unveiled from the new recording. Watch director Jamie Lloyd’s music video for the track HERE and Francis’ show-stopping performance at London’s prestigious Olivier Awards ceremony HERE.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said, “This recording was made live at the Savoy Theatre in London, with no enhancements, exactly as it was heard in the theatre. It perfectly captures one of the finest and most exciting reinventions of Sunset Boulevard ever produced. The production of this album makes it a true musical radio play, harking back to where it all began for me with the very first Jesus Christ Superstar album.”

 

Jamie Lloyd said, “I was extremely humbled by the amazing enthusiasm of our West End audiences and am thrilled we get to bring this production to Broadway. When we recorded the album live on the stage of the Savoy in London, I was once again overwhelmed by the depth and power of Nicole Scherzinger’s performance — these iconic songs have never been sung like this before. Having the exceptional Tom Francis, Grace Hodgett Young, and David Thaxton join Nicole at the St. James Theatre is an unforgettable experience.”

When The Jamie Lloyd Company’s new production of SUNSET BLVD. began performances in London last fall, it immediately grabbed the attention of theatergoers worldwide as an extraordinary reimagination of Lloyd Webber’s magnificent musical which is based on the classic Paramount Pictures film directed by Billy Wilder. Lloyd’s “tour de force of a show” (Evening Standard) became the talk of both sides of the Atlantic and was called “the show of the year” (Time Out).

“Nicole Scherzinger is sizzling in Jamie Lloyd’s seductive, red-hot revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best score….immaculately sung… a level of detailed lyrical and physical preparation that you don’t see much with this kind of fearlessness.”
Chicago Tribune

“For collectors of history-making Broadway performances, this is one not to be missed.”
The Wall Street Journal 

“Jamie Lloyd’s electrifying and brilliant revival drips with cutting-edge cool. Nicole Scherzinger is an astonishing force of nature.”
The Washington Post

“A bracing reminder of everything that theater can be…​​(Scherzinger) delivers Norma’s signature ballads with breathtaking power and bravura…every bit as stunning and volcanic as you’ve heard.”
USA Today

“Scherzinger gives a career defining performance.”
People Magazine 

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/.
