Gloria Swanson, the iconic star of Sunset Boulevard, envisioned a musical stage adaptation of her most famous film and was determined to make it happen. Enter, Dickson Hughes and Richard Stapley - two struggling songwriters (and a romantic couple) looking for their big break and Swanson could be it! As the days wear on, a triangle begins to take hold that goes beyond a mere creative partnership. From L.A. to Palm Springs to the New York theater world, Boulevard! A Hollywood Story is the tale of three individuals who attempt to share a melody with all those people out there in the dark…and how the music of that moment defined the rest of their lives.
