Nicole Scherzinger
said: “I am really thrilled to be making my West End debut in such an
iconic show and I couldn’t be more excited. To have the opportunity to
work with Andrew, Trevor and Gillian is a dream come true. I grew up
listening to Andrew’s extraordinary music and was lucky enough, a couple
of years ago, to record Cats’ beautiful song Memory. Andrew’s score
is breathtaking and I am truly honoured to have been asked to take part
in what I know will be a very special time in my career. I can’t wait
to begin rehearsals.”
