Nicole Scherzinger to star in West End Sunset Boulevard at the Savoy — Page 4

binau said: "I've been binging listening to Nicole singing and to be honest, I'm now hooked and can't wait to hear her in Sunset. At this point, I don't care if she just stands with a microphone and doesn't act at all. Just give me that voice with these songs and I'll be happy! I've already seen an actress' take (Glenn Close), now I want to hear a real singer."

Same!! I think with the Beanie fiasco and the recent Company, hopefully producers are realizing we want SINGERS (SANGERS) over actors who can hold a tune. I think she will be regal and fabulous. Everyone saying she is too young are just being ignorant because she's very attractive. She's the right age and the right type.

Is this font the new trend? Looks like a National Theater show.

I mean I don't like it, very chic, but just feels like not too much thought went into this.

I'm kind of interested in a bare bones version, but I also feel like this director has shown us their bag of tricks. I'd rather someone like Marianne Elliot

Just saw on the show’s Instagram that Rachel Tucker will be playing Norma Desmond on Monday evenings and other certain performances during the West End run.

Legitimately laughing out loud at that Vogue behind the scenes video –– I mean, trailer.

I'm on record as being excited about Lloyd & Scherzinger's take on this, but that video gives me nothing.

Eau de Desmond

The rest of the cast appears to be posted

Who says she's wearing any of those things? This is Jamie Lloyd, she could be in rehearsal blacks or a pillowcase for it.

The last big star-driven production from this director amounted to a few folding chairs and a single revolve that made Sam Gold's productions look like something from Alex Timbers.

And now ya'll are surprised the artwork/video is minimalistic...?

Have you noticed every actor in the cast is (or looks) ten years younger than the character requires.. ?

Jamie Lloyd at least has a point of view and usually gets great performances out of actors. For me, he's the cause for excitement.


So agree. Webber was best with strong collaborators like Prince.
