Sarah Brightman Stars SUNSET BOULEVARD Musical Singapore

Base Entertainment Asia and GWB Entertainment, in association with Opera Australia and The Really Useful Group, proudly announce the Asia premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical, SUNSET BOULEVARD. Set to grace the stage at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands in February 2025, this new production promises to be a standout theatrical event of the year.

Sarah Brightman Debuts in Singapore’s Musical Theatre Scene

Taking centre stage as the legendary Norma Desmond is none other than Sarah Brightman, marking her first-ever musical theatre performance in Singapore. Brightman, famed for originating the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera and recognised as the world’s best-selling soprano, is set to captivate audiences with her portrayal of Norma Desmond—a character that embodies faded Hollywood glory and unfulfilled ambition. “I am thrilled to be making my Asian theatrical debut with SUNSET BOULEVARD in Singapore,” said Brightman, reflecting her enthusiasm for this iconic role and her affection for Singapore as a city.

An Unmissable Experience at Marina Bay Sands

SUNSET BOULEVARD tells the gripping tale of Norma Desmond, a once-celebrated silent movie star grappling with her fall from fame. Her encounter with struggling Hollywood screenwriter Joe Gillis leads to a passionate and tumultuous relationship, culminating in a dramatic and tragic conclusion. This new production, directed by Paul Warwick Griffin with set and costume design by Morgan Large, captures the essence of the original Paramount film by Billy Wilder, bringing the glamour and despair of old Hollywood to life on stage.

A Timeless Musical with a Star-Studded Legacy

Since its debut at London’s Adelphi Theatre in 1993, SUNSET BOULEVARD has been celebrated globally, winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical. The musical, with a score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, has been lauded for its emotional depth and haunting melodies. This latest production, fresh from its premiere at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre, promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for both long-time fans and new audiences alike.
