onset Boulevard may take
place in the '50s, but its very
much a play for the '90s.
That's the way director
Susan Schulman staged the road tour.
While the Andrew Lloyd Webber-
Don Black musical follows fading
movie actress Norma Desmond as she
chases a fresh chance at stardom, the
issue of what aging means to career
claims the spotlight.
"I'm totally sympathetic to Norma,"
Schulman says about the character
played March 2-21 by Petula Clark at
the Detroit Opera House. "I think that
everything that she does comes out of
a deep-seated terror that she's been

over to the other side, it's not without
cause. She was the greatest star on the
screen, and suddenly, the world has
passed her by. She no longer knows
who she is because everything about
her has to do with film. Who she was
had to do with a world of fantasy, and
that fantasy has changed without her c--<
being able to change with it.
"Her fear is a very great fear that
everybody has when growing older. I feel
