OHMYGOD HEY!

Sunset Boulevard is getting talked about again on social media for its impressive act 2 stunt - but not entirely for good reasons.

The production, a revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical in a bold new staging by Jamie Lloyd starring Nicole Scherzinger, recently began previews at the St James Theatre on Broadway in New York and has encountered a couple of issues with their updated 'route'.

In today's video I'm debunking some of the more dramatic responses to this as well as sharing some context about the history of this scene, the production itself, and my thoughts about its ongoing potential...
