This is my Roman Empire

[@megannn9748]

I don’t want to say how many times I’ve watched this performance.. 🙂

[@Hannavoz]

Me too🤣

[@douglasduff4466]

It's spectacular. Gives people who didn't see the Show at the Savoy a taste of what ir was like.

[@megannn9748]

@@douglasduff4466 it’s going to be a regret of mine that I didn’t go and see it- I hope it comes back at some point!

[@cezzaosmond8297]

Me too , it’s been literally on repeat , just stunning ❤

[@samosullivan1744]

This performance really gives the material a whole added layer of depth. To sing “Everyone’s forgotten when they started” in a massive auditorium filled with people who have fought like hell to get to the biggest night in UK Theatre really is quite something! All at once, there’s something rather glorious about that feeling of ‘making it’ but at the same time there’s a rather haunting reminder of the sacrifices it takes to survive in this industry. No wonder Jamie Lloyd won Best Director (at last!)!

[@themripley]

Tom Francis is an absolute star.

[@emhu2594]

i loved him in this role

[@Megan80]

Excited to see him in the next season of You!

The little moment with David Tennant at 2:52 is living rent free

[@awickedwolf]

The way this show is staged here is one of the most creative and fantastic ways I've ever seen a show like this have done And I hope it gets a big positive outcome on Broadway

[@Avigal2006]

I need this version on Spotify!! INCREDIBLE!

[@Chris-lt7ry]

West end cast studio recording is coming by the end of this year around October !! It got confirmed earlier this year

[@Avigal2006]

@@Chris-lt7ry oh my goddd!! I’m SO excited! Thanks for telling me!!

[@Izzy-Maurer]

I thought this performance was incredible enough already, and then I learned that this is a variation of the way this production staged this song and did it every night?? Never getting over this, and I can't believe I haven't heard of Tom Francis before!

[@amyip6939]

Yes, he started off in the changing rooms, then outside on the street, through the theatre foyer and then onto the stage. There were a LOT of stairs to contend with along with changes in weather, random bystanders etc.

[@chrislevoi6604]

And super proud as Tom is the son of my friend - a totally talented and understated actor

[@alicew349]

The Andrew Lloyd Webber standee was also in the west end version, I presume that and saying hi to Nicole were both at the exact moments they happened in the show!

[@ryanschwartz4959]

⁠@@alicew349 Well, I remember the Lloyd Webber standee, but when I saw it, the alternate playing Norma was sitting in front of the screen showing the outside camera feed. As for him saying hi to Nicole, in the West End production he does this with one of the outside posters.

[@alicew349]

@@ryanschwartz4959 The night I saw it in London he went into Nicole's dressing room and said hi live!

[@reallyquiterandom]

This bit at the Savoy FLOORED me

[@Megan80]

Me too! I went "oh wait! I'm alone in London and this is AWESOME!"

[@charlotted1321]

Id be huffing and puffing by the time I'd gotten to the stage 😂

A shorter version at Savoy

[@user-es2dw1ol5f]

Not forgetting the Camera work which is absolutely magnificent. @shaynamc did a great walk around. well done

[@niovelux]

Agree!

[@debbieblackman3650]

Is it wrong how many times I've watched this scene? Tom Francis is a Superstar in the making Insane. Epic.. Stunning. Phenomenal. I still have chills and goosebumps

[@matthewplampton955]

Saw this 4 times in the west end including closing night. Really is the best thing I've ever seen. Still blows my mind how modern and relevant they made this musical. It was heartbreakingly wonderful.

[@singingbarney5]

The orchestra is also stunning.

[@celticredhead]

Amazing. He’s going to be a huge star.

[@Saigeee333]

I’m not usually into musicals or theatre in general, but I happened to watching the Olivier’s livestream and this blew me away. I’ve showed it multiple relatives of mine. Hoping to see it on Broadway this fall.

[@misskit123]

Tom is a superstar. This is incredible, im so pleased they made thia work last night! Personally, theres a 90% chance id stack it walking down the stairs.

[@DennisLuyf-gy5yn]

traveled from the Netherlands three times , to see Sunset Boulevard , it was a work of art that you had to keep looking at and could not say goodbye to. This performance is once again breathtaking to see! Tom Francis after Broadway, Holywood awaits you!

[@YvesV89]

Jaloers!

[@baifern0523]

This is me in a different universe. I also travelled from Edinburgh three times to see the show three times! The closing night performance was everything 🥹

[@dalehankins3853]

definitely a star in the making, if by chance he is not already there. He's got the voice and the looks

[@Mungoteazer11581]

This is still one of my all time favourite musical songs.

[@marionmiddlehurst6133]

Me too I am hooked. Tom Francis brilliant

[@KristinaEmilyOfficial]

This performance is absolutely amazing!!! I loved this particular sequence when I saw Sunset Boulevard but replicating it for Olivier Awards 2024 just shows how amazing the team behind this show is! 😍

[@LostHatProductions]

Really hope this production comes back on stage in the UK, as I missed it

[@ShaneReacts]

I flew from Australia to see this show in November. Absolutely mind blowing. I agree Tom is a star but the entire cast was magnificent. I loved the whole experience.

[@nm1673]

Brilliantly done. Getting to re-stage this at the RAH must be the icing on the cake for the Sunset team. Congratulations to all. 🎉

[@danjon8799]

Ok that gave e goosebumps. In something that could have just been a gimmick this was just simply breathtaking and we learnt so much about Joe in 3 minutes. There is no denying why this show stacked the awards last night. Truly deserved.

[@andrewbarber6992]

Tom is my nephew. my grandson is so proud of him.

[@editzbyelsie]

I saw this with Nicole! Absolutely amazing! First time I actually saw Sunset Boulevard! I'm so happy that it can move to Broadway!! ❤❤

[@JeffScottLP]

I saw SB on Broadway decades ago and never really warmed to it. But this performance really shifts my perspective. Terrific!

I mean, when I was blessed to see this in the Savoy, it was just the most incredible surprise and experience ❤ and to see this being performed again brings those memories back ❤ the vision and showmanship is impeccable xx

[@kpire6066]

This is really quite impressive. He pulls this off really, really well. I was horrified that we'd walked in late from intermission while seeing this in Tampa. Apologies. But bravo to the tech that did this Live broadcast. Deft performance. I imagine the paired down staging really puts a focus on the performances. Though fond of an original that had hefty staging. The mansion elevated over the dance floor was stunning to see and doesn't translate in recordings. It was so heavy that the stage had been reinforced at expense to the venue. I'm excited that Sarah Brightman is doing it in Australia. ❤
