Based on Billy Wilder’s 1950 film, a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to her glamorous heyday on the big screen, having been discarded by Tinseltown with the advent of "talkies." When Norma meets struggling Hollywood screen-writer Joe Gillis, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion. Scored with Lloyd Webber’s melodies. Opening Friday, Feb. 1 at 8:30 pm, and running through March 24.
Location: Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace
