Nicole Scherzinger on Bringing ‘Sunset Boulevard’ to Broadway: ‘I’m Gonna F—ing Go Out There Every Single Night Coming for Blood’


Nicole Scherzinger and Jamie Lloyd discuss their radical new revival of 'Sunset Boulevard,' which premieres on Broadway this fall.

Playing Norma, a silent film star still nursing celluloid dreams long after Hollywood shoved her aside, has been a career-redefining role for Scherzinger, best known for her work as a member of the girl group the Pussycat Dolls. By the end of the show, Norma has murdered her lover and lost all touch with reality, leaving Scherzinger standing center stage, sweaty, tear streaked and caked in blood. When “Sunset Boulevard” premiered on Broadway in 1994, the onstage drama was overshadowed by offstage melodrama — namely, a breach-of-contract lawsuit that Patti LuPone filed against the producers after she was fired and replaced by Glenn Close.
