Thanks so much for posting this! They sound just fantastic!
Actually Tristan Siegel is in the violins in this performance, not Sarah this time. But thanks for posting this ❤
Excellent !!
@@imslp.presents Fixed, and thanks for the correction.
I found those credits for the show on the Web, and didn't know if they were right.
I've performed in pit orchestras before (bassoon)...love to see them being acknowledged!
Nicole is astounding!
This recieved standing ovation in my room for 3 hours.
It’s an Act 2 showstopper. I loved it.
As it should 😂 !! No kidding, this is magnificent ❤
It's 6 hours in my room. The bedbugs were gagging.
@@zdknthn645112hrs in mine. 🪳 were snacking.
Best comment!
2:30 Where Nicole gets the breath for that “at last” at the end of her held note on “home” is beyond me! Truly stunning!
Scherzinger's voice is perfection and that song has waited 30 years to find her.
This production was probably the best musical I have EVER seen. Watching Nicole perform this in London is a memory that will stay with me forever. Simply incredible.
I was eating Fanta mentos when I watched her in London, hahah. Very memorable show.
Seeing this in person in the show was INCREDIBLE .
Doesn't compare to seeing this live. Her vocals are insane. I saw her at the opening preview show in NYC & again about a month after opening. Both times she received standing ovations several times after she sang. Both times I've seen the show the entire cast was absolutely amazing. There were quite a few songs that caused the tears to flow.
She's come a long way from the Pussycat Dolls. I'm consistently impressed with her voice. Glad she's finally getting to sing the way she always wanted to.
she won her Olivier Best Actress in this Role. truly deserving
Listen to her duet with David Garret the violinist. Enjoy 👏👏
@@JillLawton-zt8mefinally someone who is asking people to watch this video that was the first time I became a a fan of Nicole watching her sing that and Hrartbrat !! Lo Ti Penso Amore is one of my favorite songs of Nicole even then she had a beautiful voice !!
@@JillLawton-zt8memeant Heartbeat !
I always thought her voice was wasted in PCD. Nicole Scherzinger has a great Broadway voice.
The live performances of this are consistently better than that the studio versions. It's magic
Coz it's in totality of the whole story so the song has meaning. This by itself is just a good performance with no reference.
I’ve seen Nicole in this production four times and cannot fathom how one person has so much to give, night after night. You get lost in her.
I’d bet money this entire audience saw this performance and had no idea what hit them.
OMG .. Her air control is crazy .. I knew she was good but this is next level. Cudos, love and respect ❤
It's pretty insane, i kept going back everytime revuewing the last time she grasped some air
And the fact is that she dominates that show 7x a week. I’ve seen her three times (including the performance Stephen saw) and she’s absolutely incredible in the role.
No one is talking about the fact that she is not wearing in ear monitor!!! PITCH PERFECT!
I would never had noticed. Even more impressed than I already was!
Wow!!! Thanks for pointing that out
Nicole Scherzinger was born to play Norma Desmond! 🎭 Every word, every note, every emotion - her voice brought the story to life in the most stunning way. 🌟✨
Glenn close sets a very very very high benchmark though.
@@alfredchan68 You cannot compare them as singers, and this is a musical.
Neither one of them are “singers”.
I am lucky enough to have seen Nicole in this role twice on Broadway. It is a performance of a generation!!! She leaves her HEART on that stage and is an official Broadway icon in her first Broadway role!! GO. SEE. IT. if you can.
Just to give you the heads up
It’s a West End Production babe 😂 🇬🇧
@@TheExtraClassic yes, I know that it is a West End Transfer. Wanted to see it in London but never made it.
@@TheExtraClassic Their post never said or even implied that this revival originated on Broadway.
Yes, me too. It’s stunning and jaw dropping each time. I am encouraging everyone to see it.
BEST performance I have EVER seen on broadway! UNBELIEVABLE!
I fully agree - best performance I have ever seen. I saw her at the show on Nov. 2nd. It was perfect!!!!!
I am deeply proud of Nicole! To those people who don't take her seriously as a vocalist because she's from a pop group, well look at her now. One of the most renowned singers in the music industry. Phenomenal and artistic. She's stellar indeed!!! As If We Never Said Goodbye never felt this good.
Magical 😇 performance Nicole.👏
She deserved that Olivier! Hopefully a Tony next! Nicole finally living her broadway dream!
The tears I experienced seeing her sing this live on the West End. Perfection! Couldn’t have asked for a more incredible performance to see as my first West End show ❤
That "I've come home at last" was seriously astounding.
Awesome performance!!What a celestial talent she is!!!I'm crazy about this song!
standing ovation from me in my kitchen… applause
OMG that was stunning!!! I never knew. What an amazing talent. Wow!
My goodness!
This blew me away... Period.
She...as well as the performance...were flawless.
Seriously, Oh my GOD. She's doing what she was put on this earth to do.
Nicole Scherzinger has one of the best voices the world has ever known. The depth, the range, the emotion, the versatility is unparalleled. She is divine.
That "I've come home at last!" was an out-of-this-world 14-second, one-breath sustained musical ecstacy! It transported me to a whole new dimension. Impressive!
I have heard and seen her do this several times and the first few times it was 20 seconds. She gives 110%!!!
@Heyjay454 That's just incredible stamina! She's definitely top-tier.
Incredible breath control and her acting ability is flawless!!
My prediction is she will win a Tony...no doubt about it!!
Listen if EVEN Patti approved this production you know it's that good!
What did she say about it/Nicole??
@@subjectimpermanenceshe loved Nicole! ‘“thought Nicole was unbelievable. She broke my heart," the Agatha All Along actress said. "She is a force."’-taken from People magazine
I saw her in London - absolutely mesmerising. When she sang With One Look, you could have heard a pin drop. I’ve never seen a standing ovation mid show until that night. She is an outstanding performer.
Her Voice is insane. Her range is big as Whitney’s Voice !!!!!! The emotion in every word…
And the good taste… The styling is amazing!!
Congratulations Nicole Scherzinger
🏆 Best Actress in a Musical - Olivier Awards
You deserve a Tony 🏆 next!
She drew you right in. That was perfection!
She was absolutely magnetic when we saw her in this role on Broadway recently. A totally commanding performance in a stunningly good adaptation of the classic film.
I saw her in London and on Broadway. I wish I could see her again. She is phenomenal
Absolutely mesmerizing! Nicole was born to play the part. That's a Tony right there.
Nicole is fast becoming a stage legend. I went to see her in Sunset three times in London and once on Broadway this last Christmas. Her performance, as well as her voice, is truly astonishing and if there is any justice she should get the Tony as well as the Olivier for it. She is a true warrior on that stage, those who have seen her performance will know what I mean.
She is ALIGNED with her purpose. Congratulations Nicole!!!
She also aligned with trump and several religious nutjobs ...😂
I saw this in London and ugly cried through all of Nicole’s songs. She is electrifying.
This was magical. Why did I start to sob so hard??
Nicole, you've always had my heart. You are more than brilliant!
I can only imagine what it must be like to be Stephen. He gets to have in some of the most talented and amazing people in the world come to his house and he gets to share it with the world. This performance… wow… just wow! Breath taking does it no justice. Nicole is perfection in dress, poise and pitch. A performance for the ages! Bravo!!!
In the first intervievStephen was so impressed with Nicole even saying that he and others were robbed of her talents this jet second appearance to sing in his show is a compliment to Nicole ‘s transcendent artistry and Stephen is obviously a fan just like us and many others ! ❤️🤩❤️ what a powerful and majestic emotional singing !!! People go watch SunsetBoulevard and be treated to impeccable vocals , phenomenal acting and groundbreaking production !! Go get that Tony Nicole et Al !!!
Wow, she is such a bloody amazing vocalist! This was utter perfection. So happy she is getting praised for this because she IS this good. Gonna listen again, right now.
I really wanna see this show and Nicole sweep at the Tony’s. They fully deserve
I was there in the audience on it’s first night at Broadway. I was crying before, during and after the show. Been loving Nicole since my high school days. The artist I always listen to everyday and every night. Love you forever Nicole!❤❤❤
Finally people are waking up to the mastery of Nicole
Amazing vocal and acting. This will hopefully boost the box office which is not what one would expect after such phenomenal reviews.
Damn Nicole can sing. She is very underrated and she shouldn’t be whatsoever. What a phenomenal voice.
I thought I knew what to expect since I saw the show 3 times. But MY GOD, how can she get even better than what I saw last year.
'And brighter than we know it' at 2:41 I see that brightness 😂 incredible ....INCREDIBLE
I will now watch this 100 more times! Thanks to the show for having her and sharing this with us.
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT 👏👏 Absolutely captivating. What a voice, what an achievement.
Hi Jimmy Fallon
Her talent will never stop surprising me, and I’ve been a fan for more than 20 years… ❤
This is the definition of pure talent and beauty 👍
Oh my god this is insane the amount of control and emotion in her voice is so incredible i honestly love Nicole so much she’s so gorgeous and so underrated and I really hope she gets the praise she deserves for this performance ❤
her Tony is so coming! she deserves this moment so much 😭 couldnt be prouder of her
WOW!!!!!! She is fantastic!!!!
Stephen has had some amazing artists on over the years, but this was stunning perfection, left me speechless.
That feeling, that's why I love musical theatre.
My cousin is playing the drums 🪘 last night with the orchestra and I’m one proud cousin for sure 👍 and this was absolutely amazing performance last night!!!!!!!
My man Joe Nero!! 🙌🏻
@ yes indeed that’s my cousin it’s my moms brother’s son. How cool 😎 is that??? I’m one proud cousin for sure 👍
Joe Nero!
@@TheresalovesDisneyVery Cool!
@ yes 🙌 that’s my cousin I’m one ☝️ proud cousin for sure
Instant chills. Sunset Blvd. Is one of my all-time favorite musicals. She goes beyond nailing this song. Every line she sings conveys meaning and emotion. This is so beautiful, i wish I could go see her in the show.
Go see her it is better onstage many times over because you can feel the raw emotions between her and the audience see it before she leaves the show first week of July it will be worth your time because this show is the show of the century seen it twice in London and three times in NYC can’t get enough Neil be back and make sure you book more than one session you will wish to see it again !
I went to see Sunset Blvd last Friday and it was absolutely wonderful. Watching and hearing Nicole Scherzinger sing As If We Neve Said Goodbye live gave me goosebumps and chills and yes emotional. ❤
Saw her perform Norma back in December, she’s spectacular. She got multiple standing ovations during the show. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.
If you have the chance to see her live, DO IT. It is honestly a performance of our generation. Her alternate, Mandy is great but something about Nicole as Norma is just *chefs kiss*. No shade, but she IS Norma Desmond. She was made for this role and it’s just something that can’t be described without going to see it.
Musical theatre is truly her home. I’m so glad she’s there because this performance is such a blessing. I have chills all down my back, wow
The Orchestrations were phenomenal! And she sang this in a way I hadn’t heard before and I loved it. It’s one of my favorite musical songs.
Nicole makes any song her own...she is stellar!
From the first note she sang I was CAPTIVATED. One of the most talented and versatile singers PERIOD. That was so moving gotta wipe these tears away now 🥹😭❤️
I can't agree more! Never heard of this musical but I LOVE musicals and now I must learn more about this one! I really wish I was able to make it to NYC to see her perform this in person. 🤯
@@jessicalarue3205go before Nicole leaves the show first week of July it will be worth your while and book more than one session because one is not enough for sure !
Nicole is SOOO GOOD here..hve had pleasure 2..cn...🤍☀️~ thank you !! 🎉
Ever since I saw this in London, I can’t stop thinking about it. The album is still on constant repeat and I hope we get a full show visual for this stunning masterpiece and soul-shifting performance by Nicole. That note-hold gave me chills AGAIN. ❤
I saw it in London also. I have loved it every since. This performance brought back my original chills! Just beautiful !!!
Wow just wow. I have no idea that she is at this level of Talent. Without a doubt she will create a bigger mark in industry.
She is in another realm as both a singer and an actress. Brilliance. Original when it seemed there couldnt be anything drastically different. Astonishing.
Great performance and backed up by incredibly talented Broadway musicians. The BEST in the world!
No, if American musicians were the best in the world the United States wouldn't have to import talent from foreign countries, everything from music to comedy.
Good to see that somebody noticed the pit orchestra behind her.
And she did give them a bow at the end, although neither she nor the lighting director otherwise acknowledged them.
@@johnwattdotcaeveryone goes to New York because they know that's where the best are.
The orchestra is the orchestra for Sunset Boulevard which was the original orchestra in London and in Broadway !!!
@@melbamaloney4572 This is not the original orchestra from London. These are all US musicians. It is the Musical Supervisor and conductor, Alan Williams that is from London.
This is a revalation!!!❤ i had no idea Nicole could sing beyond her PCD days. She is technically gifted!
She continues to amaze. Always. Incredible.
My partner is the violinist right behind her!! What an amazing performance all around ❤
He will enjoy her duet with David Garret.
@@JillLawton-zt8meyes loved that duet
Saw her in London a year ago. She was absolutely and utterly impressive and amazing!!!
Lucky to see her perform this in London (and sat next to orchestrator legend David Cullen). Watching this performance thinking "this is amazing" then got to the end and suddenly had something in my eye. Brava.
GIVE NICOLE SCHERZINGER A TONY AWARD NOW!!!!
Nah..she is a trump supporter
@@jlbueno0611that was debunked but you still are a deny guy just like DT why will Stephen Colbert who
Is a dyed in the wool blue Dem invite her to perform on his show and why are all the Dems celebrities like Katy Perry , Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera , Whoopi Goldberg and gay celebrities still support her ? She liked the Jesus hat when did Jesus become MAGA ? Move on mate the elections are over you will longer if don’t see politics in everyone and everything ! If you still insist then go after the 7 million Dems who didn’t vote and go after the majority who voted for that guy be happy 😃!
Meant you will live longer if you don’t see politics -
Audra’s Roses Turn will give her the slight edge.
ABSOLUTLY SHES INSANE
Just saw this show in NYC last night. Innovative and unique. And this lady's performance was amazing
Wow! That’s all I can say. Ms Scherzinger has a powerful and evocative instrument. Wow! ❤
More of this! Celebrate Broadway.
Pure brilliance! Nicole has such an uncanny amazing control over her gorgeous voice! Chills up and down! BRAVO!
What the hell?!?! Chills! I love how she just takes her time, melts into the lyrics. Amazing!
It's so humbling she turned around to thank the Orchestra. Xoxoxoxoxoxo
Grown MAN tears (at 4:20). Nicole steps up to Streisand level. Any who say there's a better performance in/of life a strate up liar. Generational gift, reaches to the core of being and beyond. TYVM Steve & Nicole🎉
I saw Sunset Blvd. in NYC last month, and Nicole was phenomenal. I encourage everyone to go see it NOW!!
She wowed me with her absolutely stunning vocals and performance. Terrific singer and lady.
It's been a long time since a singer brought me to tears - she has so much power and so much subtlety, what an amazing artist and amazing performance!
My God, what a magnificent talent wrapped in a gorgeous package. Stunning.
Nicole’s voice is truly impressive, showcasing control, emotional depth, and dynamic range. I love it!
omg I had no idea, she devoured this performance! amazing
Wow. ❤ What a performance. If I'm not mistaken, Nicole not needing IEMs either, which only tells me how amazing a talent she has, as well as how beautifully everybody working together - orchestra and sound engineers (FOH, TV mix and monitors 🤓). Synergy, folks, just brilliant! 🤘
What are IEMs?
Nevermind...figured it out...internal ear monitors...for sure the fact she doesn't wear one is a miraculous feat in itself!!
Wouw Beautiful Nicole, You Look and Sound Amazing!
WOW.. Incredible talent... Thank you so much for introducing her to me.
Go and listen and see all her songs on TH-cam DONT cry for Me Argentina , Phantom of the Opera with the 4 Phantoms, Reflections sung during thebKing’s formation and also other genres with the PussyCat Dolls she was the front woman and her solo albums , she is a , Lo Ti Penso Amore duet with the violinist David Garret , Never Enough , also the video theme of Golden Eye and her duets with Andrea Bocelli! Enjoy and welcome to the golden voice !!and many others she does rock too
I can't seem to stop myself from rewatching this video. 😂
I’ve seen this show with Nicole twice and I can’t wait to see it again
I saw her play Grizabella in Cats 10 years ago, and knew from that moment she had the potential to play Norma in the future
Nicole is such an amazing singer. Deserves all the spotlight in the world. She’s just an icon
Truly the GREATEST star of all! That Tony has her name written all over it... She's taking it! She DESERVES because she DEVOURS!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
A true force of nature
Saw her in December and omfg…I was not expecting THIS
She is as good as a singer could possibly be❤
Outstanding performance!!
