Do you see this as the beginning of a long Broadway career? A lot of people's reactions to seeing this show have been them wanting to see more of you. Are there any more shows that you'd love to be the lead in?

I mean growing up as a musical theater brat I definitely had dream roles in mind, and what people don't realize is, that I realize now, it's kind of crazy. This is like over 30 years in the making for me, working towards this and fighting for this and preparing for this moment. I started out in musical theater and in middle school, I was doing theatrical stuff. I did my first role in a play when I was like 14, and then I would later on play Maureen [in Rent] at the Hollywood Bowl and then sing Evita and Phantom of the Opera for Andrew and some concerts for him. So people could see me, and I could share this other side of me with people, this other passion that I had.

 

Truth be told, I was wanting to audition for some filmed musicals and some film, TV shows, some musical TV shows, and I wasn't able to audition because they didn't want to see me. And so what I did is in 2019, I created my own show. And I funded it, and I put it on and I flew myself to New York City with my band, a 10-piece band, and I put on my own show at the Django at the bottom of the Roxy [hotel], just to share it. And it was invite only, to share it with the Broadway community, because I wanted them to know this is a part of me, a deep part of me and I want to come home. So I shared that show in 2019, that was in October, I did a couple shows around Halloween. Then in November, I brought the same show to London. And then two years later, in 2022, I brought that show to L.A., so I manifested this moment. Now, six years later, after performing at the Roxy saying, hey, will someone pay attention? I want to be Aurora in the Kiss of the Spider Woman. Will you let me audition for this? Now it's come full circle, and I'm able to play one of the greatest roles ever written. At the very end of my show, I say, "This is my life. It always will be. There is nothing else." And my heart is truly exposed at that moment. When I sing "As If We Never Said Goodbye," it is my love letter to the theater, my love letter to music that has saved my life. I will never stop singing, never stop being creative and performing. I hope that with the right projects I can create and be a part of, I'll be able to bring even more to Broadway and continue to be a part of this beautiful community that I've always dreamed of being part of.

Are we still going with this fan-fiction narrative? She was hired to be the SINGER amongst DANCERS. If anything, and now proving how infinitely TALENTED she is, PCD even held her back and could not show off her immense potential as an artist.

Why are you trying to use logic? The usual gays have once again created the narrative for Nicole and are going after her. The racism against her is truly something else...

 

Y'all just cannot see a Polynesian woman succeed.

Try not being homophobic when claiming racism, as it makes your point hollow. 

 

Enjoy your WP

People mad about the hat but I'm mad at the performance; yes, she slayed the vocals, but I actually thought her acting was BAD  She is a total miscast for the role, idc how well she can sing.
