‘Sunset Boulevard’ review: Nicole Scherzinger stuns in scorching, brilliant Broadway revival
Yes, it’s a revival of a 31-year-old musical that’s based on a 74-year-old black-and-white movie.

At the St. James Theatre, 246 West 44th Street. But age is just a number — right, Norma? “Sunset Boulevard,” which opened Sunday night at the St. James Theatre, is Broadway’s most exhilarating show in years.
