What's Happening?
The Davis Musical Theatre Company is currently showcasing live performances of 'Sunset Boulevard,' marking a significant milestone as it becomes the first community theater in the United States to perform the musical following its recent Broadway revival. The production features a cast led by Steve Isaacson, with the performances taking place in Davis, California. This local rendition follows the Broadway revival that starred Nicole Scherzinger, bringing the acclaimed musical to a community theater setting.
Why It's Important?
This development is significant as it highlights the accessibility of Broadway-caliber productions to local communities, potentially increasing interest and participation in community theater. By staging a production that recently saw success on Broadway, the Davis Musical Theatre Company is likely to attract theater enthusiasts who may not have the opportunity to travel to New York. This can lead to increased local engagement with the arts, fostering a vibrant cultural scene and supporting local talent.
