We are thrilled to announce the cast for the first production of our 2023-2024 season – SUNSET BOULEVARD. Directed by ACT of CT’s Grammy-nominated Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine, SUNSET BOULEVARD tells the magnificent tale of Norma Desmond, a silent-screen star living in her Sunset Boulevard mansion clinging to a fantasy that audiences still long for her, but in reality, hardly remember her.
This seven-time Tony Award-winning masterpiece has been called Andrew Lloyd Webber’s finest scores and weaves a compelling tale of romance, obsession, and faded glory. With a cast of 20 actors and an orchestra of 11 musicians, our SUNSET BOULEVARD is going to be a stunning and unforgettable production!!!
