Description
Starring as the ill-fated, cynical writer Joe Gillis, Todd Stuart performs the show's title song and opening number of the second act...
"Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
Secretive and rich, a little scary
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
Waiting there to swallow the unwary
Dreams are not enough to win a war
Out here they're always keeping score
Beneath the tan the battle rages
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass
We do whatever pays the wages"
Sunset Boulevard
from Sunset Boulevard, 1993
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber; Lyrics by Don Black & Christopher Hampton
