The musical Sunset Blvd. will be playing at the Lesher Center in downtown Walnut Creek beginning March 16th through April 15th. Tickets can be purchased here. It is being put on by the Contra Costa Musical Theatre. From their website:
A magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of “talkies”. When she meets struggling Hollywood screen-writer Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstnces, their volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion. Extravagant, spectacular, witty and genuinely poetic – this is Lloyd Webber at his most lushly melodic! Winner of 7 Tony Awards including Best Musical.
