Stage review: Pittsburgh CLO takes arresting, provocative trip down 'Sunset Boulevard'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Incessant happy endings can be a drag, right? Sometimes you like a good ... well, if not actually a cry, at least a gulp of melancholic sympathy.
Oops, I shouldn't give the ending away. But just about everyone I've talked to about "Sunset Boulevard" already seems to know Billy Wilder's famous 1950 Gloria Swanson-William Holden film noir of the same name, ending included, so for those people, it's already giving it away to say that this stage musical pretty slavishly tells the same story.
