"Norma Doesmen is a fabulousssss comedic homage to "Sunset Boulevard"! Tommy Femia is "Gloria Swanson"!, and gives his/her audience his/her tour-de-force performance of a lifetime! It is definitely all about him/her! He/she captures every nuance of "Norma's" essence and existence! High classic camp, and better than a gay vacation romp to Disneyland! I highly recommend this show to everyone! If you have the opportunity of seeing only one show this year, make it "Norma Doesmen". It's one show you'll be "ready to see "close-up"! I will see it twice more!".

Set in a run-down chateau of an alcazar on Sunset Boulevard, Norma Doesmen follows the story an unemployed script-writer “Joe Dillis” who finds himself on the run from the re-po men and dives into the lap of a reclusive, silent-screen movie star “Norma Doesmen.” Waiting for her return to filmdom, Norma finds her prey in Dillis, who is manipulated and seduced by this insane, over sexed, psychotically disordered fallen legend. Along with her totally schizophrenic servant “Max” and Joe's devoted narcoleptic girlfriend, “Betty ShaveHer,” the comedy ensues as Joe accidentally crosses her path and she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback to the big screen.
