\n\tNicole Scherzinger <\/a>delivered a surprise performance of the Pussycat Dolls\u2019 2005 hit \u201cButtons\u201d from their debut studio album,\u00a0PCD<\/em>, during the annual Broadway Bares charity event in New York City.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Broadway Bares benefit is staged each year to raise funds for Broadway Cares\/Equity Fights AIDS<\/a>. This year\u2019s edition featured dancers from Sunset Blvd.<\/a><\/em>, the musical revival in which Scherzinger stars, and a high-energy appearance from the pop star herself.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlease give it up for my beautiful cast of Sunset Blvd,<\/em>\u201d Scherzinger told the crowd in a video shared by BCEFA<\/a> on Instagram. \u201cHappy Pride, baby!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cast recording, Sunset Blvd: The Album<\/em>, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Cast Albums chart dated Nov. 9. The album was recorded live at the Savoy Theatre in London and released Oct. 25 via The Really Useful Group\/The Other Songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tScherzinger, who scored four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 as a member of The Pussycat Dolls, won her first Tony Award for best actress in a musical for her performance in Sunset Blvd.<\/em> The role previously earned Glenn Close a win in the same category for the original Broadway production in 1995. Scherzinger triumphed in a stacked category that included Audra McDonald, the most awarded performer in Tony history with six wins. McDonald was nominated for Gypsy<\/em> but has now lost in her last three nominations, following Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune<\/em> (2020) and Ohio State Murders<\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n

\n\tBroadway Bares is known for blending theatrical spectacle with star appearances, but booking a pop icon like Scherzinger to perform a major hit from the 2000s added an extra layer of excitement, signaling that Scherzinger, while fully immersed in musical theater, remains proud of her Pussycat Dolls legacy.<\/p>\n

\n\tSunset Blvd.<\/em> is scheduled to run on Broadway through July 6, 2025.<\/p>\n
