Sunset Boulevard, Andrew Lloyd Webber's lush and dramatic musical, comes to Desert Stages Theatre. Based on Billy Wilder's classic 1950 film noir, Sunset Boulevard is the story of Norma Desmond, a fading star of the silent film era who has retreated to her decaying mansion to live in the past. When the ambitious young screenwriter Joe Gillis stumbles into her world, she sees in him an opportunity to make her big comeback and he sees an opportunity to make a quick buck. As their relationship becomes ever more complicated and entangled, Joe finds himself in over his head with no way out of the situation he has created with his greed. The original Broadway production claimed seven Tony Awards in 1995 including Best Musical, and features memorable songs such as "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."

Arcadia: A.C.T.'s New Production of Stoppard's Masterwork

Full Price:: $25.00 - $90.00
Our Price:: $12.50 - $54.00

The praise for Sir Tom Stoppard's masterpiece Arcadia could not be more effusive. A reviewer from The Daily Telegraph gushed, "I have never left a play more convinced that I had just witnessed a masterpiece." Whereas The Independent wondered if it might be "the greatest play of its time." The reason for such enthusiasm might be found in Stoppard's uncanny blend of brainy discussion and down-to-earth emotion. In this play alive with ideas -- about Byron, entropy, history and heat -- the human characters are never lost or diminished, but somehow made more real by their participation in a conversation that seems to span centuries. Set in a sprawling English country house, Arcadia moves between the 19th century and the present through a series of love stories, while characters from both eras discover connections, unearth mysteries and unravel hidden truths. Artistic Director Carey Perloff helms the American Conservatory Theater's dazzling new production of this modern-day masterwork. Learn More

Fun production. Love such a small square seating arrangement surrounding the stage. Wonderful how they have that many people move around on such a small stage and move the props in and out.
