After her recent performance of Sunset Boulevard on Saturday night, Nicole Scherzinger received encouragement from her famous friends Katy Perry and Meghan Trainor backstage.

The 46-year-old former Pussycat Dolls vocalist is currently performing in a fresh interpretation of Sunset Boulevard by Andrew Lloyd Webber on Broadway. The production has received outstanding praise, and her role even involves her getting doused in fake blood.

She was accompanied by singers Katy, 40, and Meghan, 30, as they all took pictures together at The St. James Theatre.

Katy highlighted her shape in a white tank top and form-fitting black leggings, whereas Meghan opted for a completely black outfit complemented by a fashionable Louis Vuitton scarf.

Katy, the singer of "Firework," posted pictures and videos from their night out on her Instagram Story while Nicole autographed her show program.

After her recent performance of Sunset Boulevard on Saturday night, Nicole Scherzinger received encouragement from her famous friends Katy Perry and Meghan Trainor, who were there to cheer her on backstage.

The previous member of the Pussycat Dolls, who is now 46 years old, is making waves in Andrew Lloyd Webber's fresh version of Sunset Boulevard on Broadway, which has received outstanding reviews. (She was spotted with Meghan Trainor.)

This follows a heartfelt video that Nicole shared on Instagram last week, where she expressed her dreams of being a theater star—16 years before she achieved success on Broadway.

The social media clip from 2008 featured her shooting the music video for her band’s popular song “When I Grow Up,” located just across from the Broadway theaters in New York.

Appearing youthful and vibrant in the video, she remarks, "It's wild because when I was younger, I imagined myself being over there, on that side of the street, not here on this side."

"One day, I'll return to the stage. I really miss being up there..."

The video went on to feature clips of her performing on stage in Sunset Boulevard and preparing backstage, highlighting her journey to success.

In her caption, she wrote: "Behind-the-scenes clips from the 'When I Grow Up' music video by PCD—16 years later... I’ve returned home. @sunsetblvdmusical."

Nicole plays the role of Norma Desmond, a once-famous star, in the Broadway musical. Norma longs to revive her career and seeks assistance from a struggling screenwriter.

The production is derived from the 1950 movie of the same title and made its debut in London's West End in 1993, featuring Patti LuPone in the role of Norma Desmond. Glenn Close took over the role for the Broadway version in 1994.

Close made her comeback for the West End revival in 2016 and then again for the Broadway revival in 2017, while Scherzinger took the lead in the 2023 West End revival.

Katy, 40, and Meghan, 30, joined her as they all took photos together at The St. James Theatre.

Katy highlighted her physique in a white tank top and fitted black leggings, while Meghan opted for a completely black outfit complemented by a fashionable Louis Vuitton scarf.

Katy, known for her hit song "Firework," posted pictures and videos from their night out on her Instagram Story while Nicole autographed her performance program.

Nicole plays the role of Norma Desmond, a once-famous actress, in the Broadway musical. Norma hopes to revive her career and seeks the assistance of a down-on-his-luck screenwriter.

This production is inspired by the 1950 movie of the same title. It originally debuted in the West End of London in 1993, featuring Patti LuPone in the role of Norma Desmond. Glenn Close later took on the lead role during its Broadway performance in 1994.

She won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and after a successful preview period that brought in $1 million during the first week, the show officially debuted in October at the St. James Theatre.

Nicole has earned a lot of applause during her debut on Broadway, with one standing ovation reported by People to have lasted an impressive six minutes.

According to The Sun, it was reported last year that theater executives brought on board acclaimed movement director Ingrid Mackinnon to assist Nicole in getting ready for her intimate scenes with co-star Tom Francis.

A source connected to the show shared with the publication: "Intimacy coordinators are now required because it's essential for actors to feel comfortable with their fellow performers."

In earlier times, individuals often found themselves exploited, as performers pushed limits in their on-stage actions.

A coach plays a vital role in maintaining clear boundaries, which contributes to eliminating sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.

Even with her celebrated performances, Nicole was recently met with boos at the conclusion of one of her well-received Broadway shows once her backing for Donald Trump came to light.

The audience in New York City expressed their emotions when the star took a bow after her performance as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard earlier this month.

Although the majority of the crowd was applauding, there were also some noticeable boos mixed in, just days after Nicole's support for MAGA became known.

Scherzinger, known for her often confusing political opinions, faced backlash for two recent social media posts. She praised Russell Brand for wearing a Christian hat inspired by MAGA, and she liked a post from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that praised the Trump administration.

She eventually addressed the controversy by posting a confusing apology on her Instagram story.

It did little to calm the frustration of progressives who were outraged at Scherzinger for holding different views, while some MAGA supporters were also annoyed by what seemed to be her inconsistent stance.

Billy Porter was present at the event as well.

She won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and after a successful preview phase that earned $1 million in its first week, the show officially launched in October at the St. James Theatre.

Nicole has garnered multiple standing ovations since making her Broadway debut, with one, as reported by People, lasting an astonishing six minutes.

She exchanged a kiss with Billy.

According to The Sun, the theater executives brought in acclaimed movement director Ingrid Mackinnon last year to assist Nicole in getting ready for her personal scenes with her co-star, Tom Francis.

Nicole recently shared that even though she has found success in theater, she initially felt 'overlooked' by the industry after her time in pop music.

Nicole recently revealed that even though she has found success in theater, she initially felt overlooked by the industry after her pop career.

She shared with People: "I'm 46 years old, and I've never felt stronger—physically, mentally, or emotionally. This is my peak. There's no better moment for me to produce work that truly matters in the world."

It's a heartbreaking situation: you're at a high point in your life, brimming with potential and love to share. Yet, despite this abundance, people have overlooked you, turned their backs, and declared that your moment has passed.

Nicole emphasized that performing on The Great White Way has been her dream for as long as she can remember. This aspiration follows her roles in productions like Cats and Rent, stemming from her successful pop career.
