  Sunset Boulevard Reviews

Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...This production is an example of why MMT can be such a frustrating company. Under artistic director Steven Meerdink, they take exciting risks, but too often their reach exceeds their grasp."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Somewhat Recommended

"...What's missing is any sort of glamor, faded or otherwise. A series of dim screen projections join unadorned desks and an ugly wood bench to stand in, unconvincingly, for Desmond's furniture. Yes, the show opens in a sanitarium, but did director Steven Meerdink really want to maintain that institutional vibe for two straight hours? They couldn't afford a simple upholstered fainting couch, even? And with so little to look at, it's easier to focus on the company's vocal talents, which range from stellar to passing."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Somewhat Recommended

"...Hollywood has a reputation of creating new stars, throwing them into the spotlight, and then casting them aside. Sunset Boulevard tells the story of a faded star and her desperate attempts to claw her way back into the limelight. It's a wonderful story full of great music, performed well by Minneapolis Musical Theatre, and yet I hesitate to recommend it."
