"With an astonishing 21 Top 10 hits and charisma to spare, Girls Aloud were one of the biggest and brightest groups of the 00s and Nicola Roberts, enigmatic and riveting, was a crucial element. As she heads to London's West End in the musical Hadestown, she'll be joining us to answer your questions. Roberts was just 16 when she auditioned for the reality talent show Popstars: the Rivals, which whisked her from school in Runcorn, Cheshire, to pop fame."
"She also appeared in the West End musical City of Angels, and is now going back to musical theatre in the cast of Hadestown, playing Persephone in Anais Mitchell's retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice story. Ahead of her run starting on 16 September at London's Lyric theatre, Roberts will join us to answer your questions about the role and right across her career post them below before 5pm BST on 1 September, and we'll publish her answers later that week."
Nicola Roberts rose to fame at 16 after auditioning for Popstars: the Rivals and became a key member of Girls Aloud. Girls Aloud achieved 21 Top 10 hits and a Christmas No 1 with Sound of the Underground. The group's repertoire ranged from neo-rock'n'roll (No Good Advice, Love Machine) to power ballads (The Promise, I'll Stand By You) and melancholic pop such as Call the Shots, noted for Roberts's poignant middle eight. After a 2009 hiatus and later reunion tours, Roberts released the solo album Cinderella's Eyes, judged Styled to Rock, co-wrote songs for Little Mix and Cheryl, appeared in City of Angels, and will play Persephone in Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre from 16 September. Public questions are invited before 5pm BST on 1 September; answers will be published that week.
