I liked it more than some, but far less than many others. I had to let go of my memories of seeing Buckley, Close, and Paige and try to meet this production on its own terms and experience it through Lloyd's strong point of view.

In the end, I found it less "Sunset Boulevard" and more of a contemporary treatise on fame and relevance in a media-obsessed era that appropriates the book of Sunset Boulevard for its own purposes. It might have been just as appropriate to title the show, A Pussycat Doll's House (inspired by Sunset Boulevard).

I happened to love Lloyd's A Doll's House.

And I'm showing my age and/or respect for more traditional audience decorum, but the show is not a concert and I found the excessive whooping and mid-show standing O's to be disruptive, but that cat is out of the bag for good I am afraid.
