About

Alone in the dark, with little more than her celluloid memories, Norma Desmond remains what she has always been — the greatest star of all.

This spring, she will reclaim the spotlight once more.

Glenn Close returns to Broadway in the tour de force performance that earned her the Tony Award for Best Actress – and a place in Broadway history – in Sunset Boulevard.

Featuring a 40-piece orchestra, the largest in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award®-winning masterwork of dreams and desire in the land called Hollywood comes to the Palace Theatre for a limited engagement following a sold out run in London’s West End.

“ONE OF THE GREAT STAGE PERFORMANCES OF THIS CENTURY! YOU HAVE TO – AND I MEAN HAVE TO – SEE IT IN PERSON!”  -  Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“WITH ONE LOOK GLENN CLOSE BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE!   A performance gutsier and more gripping than ever.  IT LEAVES YOU THUNDERSTRUCK.  Your heart somehow sinks and beats faster all at once.” -Peter Marks, The Washington Post

    This show is a MUST see

    by Kaongs on 4/23/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    This show is not to be missed. Check out the reviews - they are unanimous in that Glenn Close is just remarkable in this show. She has two big numbers during this show that just bring down the house. The evening we attended - the audience gave Glenn Close TWO standing ovations DURING the show. Get tickets fast - the show is in New York City until only the end of June. Whatever you pay for a ticket - believe me, it's worth every penny!

    keep going, Glen Close

    by gamih on 4/22/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    I saw the 1994 production of Sunset Boulevard and enjoyed it very much, as I did this time. As a senior, I preferred the more traditional Sunset Boulevard; as a member of the audience, I thought Glen performance in this version was just wonderful.

    See Glenn Close, the rest is just ok.

    by Knobbster on 4/22/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    Close is fantastic, but the minimalist staging is not. The orchestra on the stage was distracting. Good music, but Close is the only reason to see this.

    Spectacular Indeed!

    by dlsfoto on 4/20/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    I was fortunate enough to see Glenn Close perform in Sunset Boulevard 20 years ago on Broadway and she was incredible. Now 20 years later she has returned for her 'close up'. I can not image her being better than the first time, but she was!! Her passion, her heart, her talent...she put every ounce of herself into this role. It is a must see on Broadway. Do not miss Glenn Close as Norma Desmond!!!

    Glenn Close and entire cast was exceptional

    by RRZswim on 4/19/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    Orchestra on stage the entire time and was phenomenal. Glenn Close was Glenn Close...spot on and at the top of her game. The rest of the cast kept right up with her and the time flew by.

    Bad show!

    by MammyII on 4/18/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    Actors were very good, but the show itself was awful. Terrible lyrics and dialogue. A waste of time and money even though I think Glenn close is a very good actress.

    Glenn Close is the biggest star of all!

    by howster007 on 4/18/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    After seeing SUNSET BLVD in its first season in London and several times on Broadway, I thought I would be in for just one more look at this wonderful musical. Boy was I wrong. From the first moment that I saw Glenn Close on stage I knew I was in for one heck of a ride. She enveloped the stage with her presence. Her voice was magnificent and she deserved every standing ovation that she received. I knew the end was coming but I didn't want it to come. I know this is a limited engagement but I urge everyone to try to get tickets to this incredible show with this amazing actress.

    Terrific show! The first few minutes was a little slow starting, but once it got past that, it was wonderful. Beautiful haunting music that stays in your head long after the show is over. Glenn Close and "Max" her butler were fabulous.

    Once in a lifetime opportunity

    by CCLZA on 4/17/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    As good as hyped, or even better. Glenn Close elevates excess and turns it into something grand, profound and unforgettable. The orchestra was extraordinary.

    Glenn Close in Sunset Blvd

    by dec518 on 4/17/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    Only go to see this if you are a big Glenn Close fan. She was amazing and the show would just be ok without her.

    Outstanding

    by MadLibra924 on 4/17/17Palace Theatre New York - New York

    I go to the theater a lot and while I was looking forward to seeing this play (I am a Glenn Close and ALW fan) I didn't expect too much from a revival. To put it mildly, I was blown away. This was one of the best shows that I have seen in the 2016/2017 season. GC is fabulous. Would go again in a heartbeat.
