"Four months after she won a Tony Award for leading actress in a musical for her blood-soaked portrayal of Norma Desmond in " Sunset Boulevard," Nicole Scherzinger is sitting in the room where she willed her triumph into being. "I manifested it right here," she says as she waves an arm around the cozy cabaret tucked inside the Sun Rose hotel on - where else? - Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood."
"Basically I was telling people, "Hey, can I audition for this movie musical? Can I audition for this live TV musical?" People wouldn't even give me a shot - they only knew me from the pop side. So I was like, OK, let me educate everyone on who I am and what my real love language is, which is the stage."
Nicole Scherzinger won a Tony Award for leading actress for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. She cultivated musical-theater skills through intimate concerts at the Sun Rose cabaret on Sunset Boulevard. Casting followed for a stripped-down revival directed by Jamie Lloyd that moved from the West End to a 10-month Broadway run. The production earned rave reviews and theater's highest honor. Scherzinger actively pursued stage opportunities to change perceptions of her as solely a pop performer and to showcase her lifelong dedication to the stage.
