The Silver Screen is the Star of Sunset Boulevard at the St. James Theatre

Eamon Lujan, Guest Writer

I want to preface this review by saying I did not hate this production, and I fear everything I say next is going to make you think I hate it. I don’t hate it; I desperately need to see this weird show again to better understand it. It is a unique piece of theatre, unlike anything I have ever seen in my life and that’s perhaps why I sound so negative, because I don’t have a good frame of reference for understanding a production like this. If you can, I encourage you all to go see Sunset Boulevard.

We had been thinking of an excuse to do another Broadway trip, and that excuse was Adam Lambert. The trip was loosely planned the same day they announced the casting, and before noon we had bought our tickets. At this performance, we had the full principal cast for the show itself and three understudies for the Prologue Company. We sat in the East Mezzanine, Mezzanine 1, Row B, Seats 114 and 113.
