Nicole Scherzinger Says How She Found Her Potential

Nicole Scherzinger was changed the moment she turned onto Sunset Boulevard. 

At the Tony Awards 2025, the Pussycat Dolls member—who is up for Best Actress in a Musical alongside Boop’s Jasmine Amy Rogers, Death Becomes Her’s Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard, and Gypsy’s Audra McDonald—emotionally detailed how the Andrew Lloyd Webber show changed her life. 

“I always felt like I wasn’t living in my full potential, my full purpose, and I was never happy with myself, never satisfied,” Nicole told E! News’ Keltie Knight outside Radio City Music Hall June 8. “It’s because I knew I had so much more to give, and this role in this opportunity allowed me to give all of me, and it’s changed my life, and I’m so grateful for it.”

Indeed, Nicole, 46, feels as though starring in the show alongside Tom Francis—who is also nominated in the male musical actor category with Maybe Happy Ending’s Darren Criss, Dead Outlaw’s Andrew Durand, Just In Time’s Jonathan Groff, Floyd Collins’ Jeremy Jordan and A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical James Monroe Iglehart—helped her learn how to better cultivate relationships.
