Sunset Boulevard

London: Faber & Faber, 1996. 1st Revised Edition; First Impression. Original decorated wrappers. Some tanning to text block, especially fore & top edges. Slight wear to covers, spine & corners. Previous owner's name on front free endpaper. ; 19.8 x 12.7 x 0.9 cms; 106 pages; Sunset Boulevard is a dramatic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on the 1950 film noir classic of the same name. With a book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, the musical premiered in 1993 and tells the haunting story of faded fame, obsession, and the price of delusion in Hollywood’s golden age. Set in 1949, the plot follows Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter who, while fleeing debt collectors, stumbles into the crumbling mansion of Norma Desmond, a reclusive silent film star desperate for a comeback. Norma believes Joe can help her realise her dream of returning to the screen in a self-penned epic, and she draws him into a complex relationship fuelled by manipulation, nostalgia, and emotional dependency. As Joe becomes increasingly entangled in Norma’s world, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, leading to a dark and tragic climax. The musical combines Lloyd Webber’s lush, cinematic score with a story steeped in irony and gothic grandeur. Signature songs like “With One Look” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye” reflect Norma’s faded glamour and desperate longing for relevance. Sunset Boulevard explores themes of fame, vanity, and artistic integrity, offering a cautionary tale about the cost of illusion and the cruelty of time in an industry built on youth and reinvention.. Very Good with no dust jacket .
