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.
