In the Andrew Lloyd Webber show, Scherzinger stars as Norma Desmond, which has already earned her an Olivier Award for her turn in the role on the West End. Scherzinger is already earning rave reviews for her Broadway debut — and the actress evenearned a six-minute standing ovationon her opening night.

Ahead of the night, she toldVoguethat she prepares for the stage “like an Olympian.”

“I’m very focused and have been working really hard, as has the whole cast,” she said. “I’ve been extremely disciplined, watching and protecting my voice.”
