In an interview with GMA, she reflected on the unique challenges of this modern adaptation of the classic story. “Without the conventional hair, makeup, wardrobe, and lighting, I found myself leaning more into the audience for a genuine connection,” she noted.
In addition to her current role, Scherzinger is set to make her Carnegie Hall debut this October, a milestone she discussed during her interview. She expressed her gratitude for the supportive remarks from Broadway legend Patti LuPone, stating, “To receive such high praise from someone of her caliber is an incredible honor, and I feel a strong desire to meet those expectations.” You can catch her interview segment below.
The Jamie Lloyd Company’s production of “Sunset Boulevard” premiered in London’s West End in the fall of 2023, quickly becoming a highlight for theater enthusiasts globally. The production achieved a remarkable feat by winning eight Olivier Awards, including accolades for Best Revival, Best Director for Jamie Lloyd, Best Actress for Scherzinger, and Best Actor for Tom Francis.
The storyline follows the troubled movie star Norma Desmond, portrayed by Scherzinger, who is haunted by her past glories and longs for a return to the Hollywood spotlight. She encounters a struggling screenwriter, played by Tom Francis, whose unfulfilled scripts may offer her a chance at revival, yet their relationship spirals into a compelling and dangerous entanglement. Set against a backdrop of glamour and disillusionment, “Sunset Boulevard” probes the dark side of ambition and the intoxicating quest for fame.
