I thought the same thing: this isn't Sunset Boulevard, this is Nicole Scherzinger celebrity worship on Broadway and in close up: the sumptuous score and ludicrous story of Sunset Boulevard are merely incidental.

As for the commenter above who asked whether Joe Gillis is always played dead-in-the-eyes: Tom Francis played it that way when I saw it. In multiple scenes, the direction seems to have been: "Here are the words to get through. Ignore them. Just stare." Except for a few minutes of actually really cool choreography, the chief goal of this production of Sunset Boulevard seems to be delivering Broadway's biggest eyeroll.

The next day I went back to see Cabaret a second time. Imagine Cabaret a palate cleanser but oh, it was.
