Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant take of the 1950 movie, that is both haunting and desperately sad Hollywood, 1949. Forgotten silent film-era star Norma Desmond longs to return to the silver screen. Holed away in her decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, Desmond lures handsome, struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis into her orbit, seeking someone to pen a movie that will fulfill her fantasy of a big-screen comeback. Norma grandly sweeps down the stairs to the waiting police, declaring, “And now, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.” Recommended for ages 13 & up
