Review: ‘Sunset Boulevard’ at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre (2024)

It’s been two days since I saw Opera Australia and GWB Entertainment’s production of Sunset Boulevard, and I’m still conflicted on whether or not I enjoyed it. But, in retrospect, I would like to see it again, and I suppose that’s the greatest compliment of all.

News: ‘Wicked’ Arriving in Melbourne March 2024

Wicked – the phenomenally successful musical is wowing audiences in Sydney right now, as it continues its stellar run at the Lyric Theatre. But Melbourne audiences will not have to wait long until it heads south to the city’s iconic Regent Theatre, kicking off the third run in the city, following previous productions in 2008 and 2014.

To celebrate the announcement of its Melbourne leg kicking off in March 2024 as well as the fact that tickets are going on sale on Friday the 20th of October, Lord Mayor Sally Capp welcomed the show’s two stars – Courtney Monsma (who plays Glinda) and Sheridan Adams (Elphaba) – who arrived in full costume and make-up to help promote the show’s return to Melbourne for the first time in almost 10 years. Added to this was the presence of an enormous Wicked-themed hot air balloon, which was not defying gravity sadly as it was anchored to the ground, but it certainly loomed large in the distance on a perfect Melbourne morning.
