To coincide with the show's Broadway opening, SUNSET BLVD: THE ALBUM recorded live at the Savoy Theatre in London's West End, is set for global release on Friday, October 25 via The Other Songs. Featuring the powerhouse London cast, SUNSET BLVD: THE ALBUM captures the thrilling energy of this bold, new production. "Sunset Boulevard" the iconic title song performed by Tom Francis, dropped last week on all digital platforms. Jamie Lloyd also directed a new music video to accompany the release of "Sunset Boulevard"

When The Jamie Lloyd Company's new production of Sunset Blvd. began performances last fall, it immediately grabbed the attention of theatergoers worldwide as an extraordinary reimagination of Lloyd Webber's iconic musical. Scherzinger's performance was hailed as "soul-baring and roof raising" (Daily Mail) and 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) and went on to win a record seven Olivier Awards including Best Musical Revival, Best Director for Lloyd, Best Actress in a Musical for Scherzinger, and Best Actor in a Musical for Francis.

Lloyd Webber's thrillingly atmospheric Sunset Blvd. features an iconic score including the songs "With One Look," "The Perfect Year," and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."

Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Nicole Scherzinger) yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter (Tom Francis) who can't sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Blvd. focuses the lens of ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.

The creative team for Sunset Blvd. includes Soutra Gilmour (set and costume design), Fabian Aloise (choreography), Alan Williams (music supervisor and music director), Jack Knowles (lighting design), Adam Fisher (sound design), Nathan Amzi and Joe Ransom (video design and cinematography), Cheryl Thomas (hair and makeup design), Ann James (intimacy coordinator), Jim Carnahan CSA and Jason Thinger CSA (U.S. casting director), Stuart Burt CDG (U.K. casting director), and Johnny Milani (production stage manager). 101 Productions, Ltd. serves as the General Manager for Sunset Blvd. The creative team also includes Rupert Hands (U.K. associate director), Benita de Wit (U.S. associate director), Paris Green (U.K. associate choreographer), Ashley Andrews (U.S. associate choreographer), and Fred Lassen (associate musical director).

Sunset Blvd. 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.
