Read More Demi Moore poses with blood-soaked Nicole Scherzinger after her Sunset Boulevard show 'It is not the usual Broadway standing ovation: polite and dutiful. It is not even the appreciative and happy standing ovation: heartfelt and feelgood. This is something else. The whooping and applauding goes on and on, a wave upon wave of loud appreciation, no one in any rush to stop or leave,' the article says.
She revealed in September that she had never even considered tackling this iconic role before she spoke with Andrew Lloyd Webber. 'It is not the usual Broadway standing ovation: polite and dutiful. It is not even the appreciative and happy standing ovation: heartfelt and feelgood. This is something else. The whooping and applauding goes on and on, a wave upon wave of loud appreciation, no one in any rush to stop or leave,' the article says
'I didn’t realize that this is the role that I’ve been waiting to play all my life. We’re doing a completely different, new interpretation,' she insisted. 'Scherzinger and the stage she inhabits push each other to grand extremes. The result is something like magic,' the review adds.The Washington Post's review adds, 'Nicole Scherzinger’s radiance as Norma Desmond in “Sunset Blvd.” is difficult to overstate.'
'She sings “As If We Never Said Goodbye,” an aching one-sided duet with fame, with such delicacy and gut-slugging power that even Barbra Streisand, who covered it the same year the musical came to Broadway in 1994, might consider retiring the song from her repertoire,' the Post's review adds. Observer added, 'Just as Scherzinger inhabits Norma within giant neon quotation marks, the whole production seems to admit the overall musical is trash.'The review added, 'This Norma is forever mugging for the camera, scrunching up her face or tossing her hair; I found her antics — surely encouraged, or at least approved, by Mr. Lloyd — a little excessive, though many in the audience ate them up during the preview I attended.
