Sunset Boulevard: Locally Produced Musical With Film Noir Style

The Legacy Theatre

Sunset Boulevard is a musical that almost never was. It went through multiple failed plans before Andrew Lloyd Weber - who also wrote the music for The Phantom of the Opera - took the story line of a movie from 1950 and made it a Broadway hit. And now, the musical is coming to The LegacyTheatre in Springfield - the first time it will have a run in the city.

 
The musical opens tonight and goes through next weekend at the building on Lawrence Avenue that was formally the Springfield Theatre Centre. Actors Jeremy Goeckner, Cynda Wrightsman, Sarah Baltusevich and Director Scott Richardson all joined us for this interview:
