Nicole Scherzinger is headed to Broadway with a trophy to toughen her. Scherzinger won the Olivier Award for Most productive Actress in a Musical on April 14 for her role as Norma Desmond in the revival of Sunset Boulevard. It’s a correct boost for the weak Pussycat Doll sooner than her crossing the pond to extensive name in the same production on Broadway. In her speech, Scherzinger thanked God, the London theater neighborhood for “wrapping your legs and arms round me love a spider monkey,” her household, and even Andrew Lloyd Webber, whom she called “my expensive excellent friend and mentor.” Perchance she ethical forgot so that you just can add “weak nemesis,” but that’s okay. She additionally squatted love Hannah Waddingham, who became as soon as hosting the ceremony. “This is one thing Hannah would invent,” she acknowledged upon first squatting. Then she did one other, deeper squat because that became as soon as, it sounds as if, extra love Hannah Waddingham. We hope she does an equally uncommon speech when if she wins the Tony subsequent 365 days.

Sunset Boulevard, directed by Jamie Lloyd, won fat that night now now not ethical for Scherzinger but for … ethical about the entirety. The production won seven awards, tying the myth for many wins ever by a musical; others integrated Lloyd for Most productive Director, Scherzinger’s co-extensive name Tom Francis for Most productive Actor in a Musical, and Most productive Musical Revival. One more fat winner of the night became as soon as Sarah Snook, who is formally the famous Succession forged member to assemble a fat award put up-Succession. Sorry to Jeremy Solid and Juliana Canfield, the Tonys aren’t for one other few months.
