Nicole Scherzinger to Replace Patina Miller as PIPPIN’s Leading Player?
Dec 26 2013

A former Pussycat Doll may have a little bit of magic to do in Broadway’s PIPPIN.

According to the New York Daily News, Nicole Scherzinger is nearing a deal to succeed Tony winner Patina Miller as ‘The Leading Player’ in the circus-inspired revival.

“It’s a 90% done deal,” a source within the theater insider told the publication. “She is a good singer, a great dancer and an amazing looker. However, most important, she will sell tickets.”

Scherzinger, who has appeared in the Hollywood Bowl production of RENT, is best known as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls who’s 2005 debut album PCD went double-platinum in America and sold over nine million copies worldwide with several Top-10 hits songs including Don’t Cha, Buttons and Stickwitu. Following the success of PCD, Nicole recorded a series of duets and guest vocal appearances with artists such as P.Diddy, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Vittorio and several others.

Nicole also released two solo singles and videos before recording the second Pussycat Dolls Album, Doll Domination, which has sold over 5 million copies containing hits like When I Grow Up and I Hate This Part. She has toured the globe as a headline act for over six years, playing stadiums and arenas and appearing on countless TV shows worldwide. In 2009, Nicole recorded an adaptation of the AR Rahman Song Jai Ho from the film Slumdog Millionaire. The song hit #1 in 17 different countries.

PIPPIN is the winner of four Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Actress in a Musical (Patina Miller) and Best Direction of a Musical (Diane Paulus).
