Notes

Boulevard! is the original concept musical based on the 1950 Billy Wilder film 'Sunset Boulevard'. With music and lyrics by Dickson Hughes and Richard Stapley under the direction of Gloria Swanson, this musical never made it to the stage. Swanson recreates her iconic role as the faded silent screen star Norma Desmond. Throughout the fifties Swanson and her writing team (as well as a host of singers) recorded a number of demo recordings that Swanson would play to prospective producers as well as guests at her private cocktail parties.
In a cruel blow to Swanson's confidence, Paramount refused permission for the production to be staged. However this collection of demo recordings demonstrate that 'Sunset Boulevard' was first interpreted as a musical some forty years before Andrew Lloyd Webber's version took to the stage.
This collection also features rare bonus tracks of Swanson's first recordings from her illustrious film career.
