Hi everyone,

I went to see Sunset Boulevard in the West End last and was blown away!
Does anyone knows of anymore actor'musician musicals on/or due to be on Broadway?

Thanks

Well, there was the 2005 Sweeney Todd revival and the 2007 Company Revival.

What? Is Sunset Boulevard doing this? I hadn't heard of that... how many instruments are there?

John Doyle didn't direct this production, but it started out at the Watermill, where his Sweeney also began.

Sam Mendes' re-invention/revival of CABARET. Everyone in the entire cast, excluding all the principals, played instruments in the Kit Kat Klub band. The actress playing Fraulein Kost/Fritzie also played the accordian in the band.
