After decades of thrilling audiences worldwide, acclaimed singer-actress Sarah Brightman will finally get to showcase her theatrical chops to fans in Asia in 2025.
Brightman is starring as Norma Desmond in a new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard which will have its Asia premiere at Singapore's Sands Theatre in February 2025. Her last performance in Singapore was in 2022 during her Christmas Symphony concert tour.
Based on the classic Paramount film about the relationship between a screenwriter and a former silent-film star, the musical version of Sunset Boulevard premiered in 1993. Its original Broadway production won six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book.

Cardmembers will be entitled to 20 per cent off ticket prices during both presale sessions, and 15 per cent off from Sep 23.

In a statement, Brightman expressed her excitement towards the upcoming show, saying: "I am thrilled to be making my Asian theatrical debut with Sunset Boulevard in Singapore. I have always admired Andrew’s work on this musical and look forward to delving into the incredible score and iconic character of Norma Desmond.
