Scherzinger Almost Appeared on Broadway Before

Scherzinger will be making her Broadway debut in the upcoming Sunset Boulevard revival. However, she almost appeared on Broadway years ago. After starring as Grizabella in Cats on the West End in 2014, Scherzinger was set to reprise the role on Broadway in 2016.

However, Scherzinger ended up dropping out of the production a week before rehearsals started. This was reportedly because the Pussycat Dolls star wanted top billing for the show, but the producers wouldn’t give it to her.

Scherzinger’s run in Sunset Boulevard on the West End is set to finish on January 6. The Broadway production will premiere sometime this year.
