Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest musical masterpiece brings forth the golden age of Hollywood glamour. Set in the heart of Tinseltown, Webber’s Sunset Boulevard tells a contemporary tale of discarded silent movie star Norma Desmond, on her desperate attempt to return to the Hollywood limelight. Crossing paths with Joe Gillis, the two then embark on a passionate yet toxic love affair that ultimately leads to a tragic conclusion. Based on the 1950s film of the same name, this new adaptation brings together Broadway royalty Sarah Brightman and Tim Draxl in the roles of the two star-crossed lovers. Don’t miss your chance to witness this spellbinding tale of fame, obsession, and heartbreak.

Another classic Webber production, Phantom Of The Opera, is making its highly-anticipated stop in Singapore, ready to mesmerise the audience with a haunting tale of love and obsession.

The story unfolds as a mysterious and disfigured music teacher becomes dangerously obsessed with his student protégé, setting the stage for a romance that defies reason and leads to catastrophe. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful literary pieces ever produced, Phantom Of The Opera won a Golden Globes award for Best Picture and Best Original Song in 2005, solidifying its place in musical history.
