Sunset Boulevard: from Movie to Musical

This illustrated account traces the origins of the Hollywood classic film "Sunset Boulevard" and tells the story of the making of the musical extravaganza. Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" opened in Spring 1993 to wide critical acclaim. Based on the original Billy Wilder film, he transformed the storyline into a stage musical, translating its atmosphere, decadence and cynicism into a score, with lyrics by Don Black and Chistopher Hampton.
