Sunset Blvd. went above and beyond any expectations I had. Its gothic, dark style was completely amazing and mesmerizing and like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Tom Francis is 100% and Mandy Gonzalez, the understudy for Norma, was frightful, delusional and fantastic. I loved Grace Hodgett Young as Betty and Shavey Brown (understudy for Max) was so intense….had no idea he was the understudy until after the show.

I can’t wait to come see this show again on my next visit and catch some things that I missed or didn’t quite understand. I thought I didn’t like dark shows but after loving Tommy, The Outsiders and this show, I’m beginning to think that’s no longer true….
