"...Making “Sunset Boulevard” a hit again — the original Broadway production ran two-and-a-half years, grossing more than $100 million..."

"Of the long-running British megamusicals that have dominated Broadway for the last decade, 'Sunset Boulevard' is the first to fall. Its demise has a symbolic importance, suggested by Lord Lloyd Webber himself when he proclaimed last year, in reference to his new musical, 'Whistle Down the Wind,' that the era of the big musical was over. 'Sunset Boulevard' has paid back about 75 percent of its investment, with one more disbursement to come, said a spokesman for the show. In the end, investors will recoup 85 percent of their money."
