During her appearance, Nicole said it took her years for people to take her seriously after she was ‘put in a box’ for years for being in the Pussycat Dolls. 

She said: ‘This is my debut on Broadway which is what I’ve always dreamed of and it’s 30 years in the making of working, preparing and performing.  

‘I feel so fulfilled to share all my gifts and abilities with the world and connect with people through performing on a deeper and soulful level

‘The dolls only saw me, people pigeon hole you and they put you in a box, so for a long time I wasn’t able to audition for films and musicals that I loved. 

‘I got fed up and six years ago I created my own show where I invited people from the industry and brought it to Broadway and London and LA. It is my pᴀssion.’

Nicole joked that she almost didn’t take the role because it wasn’t glamorous enough for her until she properly read the script and ‘fell madly in love’ with the role. 

She said: ‘I didn’t not almost take it, just when I got asked to take it I was like this is your big idea an old faded film star, honey I’m a Pussycat Doll and I have big lights.

‘But he said read the script and I felt like I completely understand Norma, we all have layers. The role is so deep and the music made me fall madly in love with it.’
