BOULEVARD, A HOLLYWOOD STORY
$16 Public | $10 Members

For Gloria Swanson, the iconic star of Sunset Boulevard, both the movie and the character of Norma Desmond provided a renewed spotlight. Seeing her role as a path back to stardom, Swanson began efforts to parlay Sunset Boulevard into a new phase of her career – adapting a musical stage adaptation of the film. Dickson Hughes and Richard Stapley, two young songwriters and romantic partners, soon find themselves caught in Swanson’s web when she hires them to write a musical version of the film. Life imitates art when Gloria falls for Richard, and the men find themselves living a real-life version of the film. A tale of relentless passion and unspoken desperation, the story of Swanson’s Sunset Boulevard musical has remained an untold tale of Hollywood Babylon…until now. (2021, 85 mins)
