David Benedict There’s a strong case for saying that the song “As If We Never Said Goodbye,” sung during Norma Desmond’s return to Paramount Studios in “Sunset Boulevard,” is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s finest dramatic moment since the chandelier first dropped in “The Phantom of the Opera.” It’s certainly his most richly persuasive song and the focal point of any production of “Sunset Boulevard.” With Nicole Scherzinger slammed into Jack Knowles’ fierce spotlight, the moment, as well as the character, most certainly arrives. Whether it is sustained is another matter. Like almost everything in director Jamie Lloyd’s arresting new production, the effect is undeniably theatrical.
But is it always properly dramatic? Not for one second is there any doubt that Scherzinger has a dominating presence and magnificent money notes. Not just as a performer but as a former “X-Factor” judge on both sides of the Atlantic, she knows exactly what wins audiences. So it proves with her full-throated delivery of the climax of the number.
But, troublingly, the production’s timing is off. Scherzinger, music director Alan Williams and Lloyd take the number painfully slowly. Yet more worryingly, in the climax of the song’s bridge, “I’ve come home at last,” she lands on “home” and holds it.
For, seemingly, ever. The audience goes wild. But the lyric’s crucial “at last,” the entire point of the show about a perilously long-awaited comeback, is lost.
The focus has shifted: it’s become about the singing, not the song. As with all his recent productions, including Jessica Chastain’s “A Doll’s House” and, in London, his powerful National Theatre revival of Lucy Prebble’s “The Effect,” Lloyd’s aesthetic is the last word in stripped-down.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic One fan drove all the way from Louisiana to Little Rock to see the new Austin Butler movie, “The Bikeriders,” hoping the “Elvis” star might show up. Unfortunately, the ongoing actors strike prevented Butler from attending Filmland, a local industry fundraiser that hosted the Arkansas premiere of the film earlier this week — a rowdy portrait of a 1960s motorcycle gang freely inspired by a book of photos New Journalism pioneer Danny Lyon took while embedded with the Outlaws.
bigger.Of course, Lloyd, who directed “A Doll’s House” on Broadway last season with Jessica Chastain, isn’t this wildly imaginative production’s only risky choice.Scherzinger, from the Pussycat Dolls, is about as far away from Norma type-casting as you can possibly get. She has little in common with the Martian-esque Swanson or Glenn Close and never bothers with an eccentric turban.But her breathtaking, feral Norma is, nonetheless, a grand creature of showbiz who’s been shunned by Hollywood’s cruelly short attention span by just 40 years old.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Austin Butler assumed Tom Hardy was always going to be serious while making their upcoming drama “The Bikeriders,” but it turns out Hardy has the impressive ability to turn on and off his intense persona. The two actors lead Jeff Nichols’ gang drama alongside Jodie Comer. The film, inspired by Danny Lyon’s book, follows the rise and fall of a fictional 1960s motorcycle club in the Midwest.
Dennis Harvey Film Critic As if paying penance for starring in all five “After” films to date — a series that’s been criticized for glamorizing toxic, controlling relationships à la “Twilight” and “50 Shades” before it — Josephine Langford now dallies on the decidedly wholesome side of romantic complication in “The Other Zoey.” This innocuous comedy, hinging on a gimmicky plot contrivance, doesn’t transcend formula even when it’s winking at the clichés it caves to. Still, it’s a pleasant enough diversion for those who want familiar genre beats sounded by the usual attractive actors in the customary attractive settings.
The next evolution in Timothée Chalamet‘s acting career? Singing onscreen, which he’ll do first in Paul King‘s “Wonka” and again in James Mangold‘s upcoming Bob Dylan bioopic “A Complete Unknown.” But is Chalamet prepared to take on the role of the iconic singer-songwriter? You bet he is, thanks to his “Dune: Part Two‘ co-star Austin Butler.
