Nicole Scherzinger feels as if she has been "discarded" by the industry before she has lived up to her full potential.
Nicole Scherzinger feels as if she has been "discarded" by the industry.
The 46-year-old pop star found fame in the early 2000s as a member of the Pussycat Dolls but has made the transition into theatre in recent years and even though she has "never been more strong" as she gears up to make her Broadway debut in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical 'Sunset Boulevard', insisted that she has been "dismissed" to an extent.
In a conversation with producer Jamie Lloyd filmed for People: "I'm [46] years old. I’ve never been more strong — physically, mentally, emotionally. I’m in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that is meaningful in this world. That’s the tragedy: is that you’re in the best place in your life. You’re so fully, have so much to give, and people have discarded you, and dismissed you and said ‘Your time’s up...'"
Following her time in the girl group, the 'Don't Cha' hitmaker served as judge on 'The X Factor' on both sides of the Atlantic and then starred in a West End production of 'Cats' in 2014 before winning an Olivier for 'Sunset Boulevard' in London earlier this year, and is surprised that she is only now just getting to appear on The Great White Way.
She said: "It’s always been my lifelong dream to go to Broadway. Can you believe I’ve never been to Broadway? I always say I’m the greatest thing to never happen to Broadway."
In 'Sunset Boulevard', Nicole stars as faded silent film star Norma Desmond who is living in the past and Jamie explained that he just had an "instinct" that the 'Moana' actress would be right for the role.
He said: "I just had this real strong instinct that you’d have this connection to this material; that you’d know what it’s like, that you’d have this real deep connection to being incredibly famous and then really not being given the opportunity to fully live to your full potential.
"And that’s the whole reason the production is the way it is. Where does Nicole Scherzinger end and where does Norma Desmond begin?"
