London, Nov 13 : The Watermill Theatre''s production of Sunset Boulevard, directed by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, will open in London next month.
It is the first time the musical, which tells of a struggling Hollywood screenwriter, played by Ben Goddard, and his relationship with Desmond, a faded star of the silent era desperate to make a comeback, has been seen in the West End since 1997.
Kathryn Evans will play Norma Desmond, the role played on screen by Gloria Swanson and on stage by Patti LuPone, Elaine Paige and Glenn Close.
Sunset Boulevard is based on the classic Billy Wilder film.
