Smash-hit West End musical Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Sherzinger is heading to Broadway later this year.

Jamie Lloyd’s acclaimed new production, which has caused a sensation in London’s West End, ends its run at the Savoy Theatre in London this weekend, on 6 January 2024.

The show scored some fabulous reviews when it opened in London, and has generated a huge amount of buzz in the West End.

Nicole Scherzinger will transfer with the show to Broadway in the lead role of Norma Desmond.

The Broadway cast will also include London leads Tom Francis as Joe Gillis, Grace Hodgett Young as Betty Schaefer, David Thaxton as Max Von Mayerlin..

Dates and venue for the Broadway run are to be announced, although Johnny Oleksinski in the New York Post speculates that it may be heading to New York’s St James Theatre, which would make sense as it’s now owned by ATG, one of the key producers of the show, and partner to The Jamie Lloyd Company. Oleksinski also speculates that the opening date will be timed for the next Tony Awards season, to not clash with ATG’s Cabaret starring Eddie Redmayne opening at the August Wilson Theatre from 1 April.

Currently at the St James Theatre is Spamalot, booking to 28 July 2024.
