The former Pussycat Dolls lead singer, who will be reprising her Olivier award-winning role of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard on Broadway this season, also told The Sunday Times that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 2015 West End production of Cats, which she starred in, was once planning to transfer to Broadway.

"Andrew has done so much for me and he’s a friend. He and his family, they’re dear friends of mine. And you know, he really did put a lot on the line and wanted to bring Cats to Broadway. But it wasn’t in the cards, I guess. It wasn’t in the stars," says Scherzinger.

On now playing Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard on Broadway now, Scherzinger tells the Times: “It’s great when you do the work. You have to do the work and you’ve got to look ugly in the face and sometimes you’ve got to look ugly while you’re doing it, which is what I’ve done in this character. There were tears, blood and lots of snot. Never did I think I’d get to that moment.”
